Enjoy craft beer, wood-fired pizza, cocktails and games at Backside Brewing. Their mission is to give back to the local community through brewing great beer and having fun doing it.
... which pretty much describes the food and beer here. I suspect the issue with Backside is the lack of consistency, I have friends that say it’s a good place for beer and food and other friends that say the opposite. When i finally visited I was not all that impressed, but I could see the potential for a decent place to frequent. But first, I will say the beer recipe needs some rework ... and no I can’t quite put my finger on why I didn’t care for their beer.
We came here because of the Record Sale, but ended up staying for dinner. My kids loved the outdoor games, as well as some indoor games when it started to rain. Friendly service and great beer and pizza!
Pizza’s crust was underdone, needed 1-2 more minutes and rotated during the bake. There was not enough attention to detail during the bake with at least 3 different people operating the oven. The beer was outstanding!
I’ve been here several times. They host outdoor games in the summer. The fire baked pizza is amazing. I’ve tried several different beers. Not a fan of IPAs but love the stouts and blondes. Nice place to kick back.
Tried a flight - and enjoyed the different styles. IPAs quite good and we enjoyed the lager and the blond as well. Stout left a bit to be desired. Liked the outdoor (covered) seating area. Several other couples were enjoying the pizza, and said it was great. We had just had lunch so didn't try it. It did smell amazing though!
