Revolution Brewing. I give it 12 thumbs up.
Cross of Gold I think. A reference to William Jennings Bryan and his famous speech of the same name. I had the opposite reaction to their beer. It was ok, but it didn't have enough in some department or the other, usually flavor. I was also disappointed by the decor. It was far too slick. The tempeh reuben on the other hand - THAT was awesome. As were the fries. And there were some really cool bikes locked up out front - a pair of A Homer Hilson Rivendells, - perhaps the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen locked up anywhere.Stopped in for the first time last night-- tried the beer but decided to skip out on the 90 minute wait.
Will have to find out when the best time to go is. My impression is that they've been pretty much filled to and beyond capacity since the moment they opened their doors? The beer was very good; I'm not generally a huge fan of Microbrews since they tend to be just a little "too much" in some department or other, usually overflavored, but the one I had was fine (forget the name-- something with "cross") and I tried another (some sort of dark coffee/chocolate beer) that I also could have got down.

I loved how the brewery was visible from our table.
Will be interesting to see how things evolve.
I didn't have much of a reaction to the decor one way or the other, beyond noticing a presumably noticable lack of adornmnet on the walls, but I'd like to note that the most impressive interior I've seen recently is Simone's, with which I'm guessing you're familiar. I absolutely love what they did with the place.

... I agree with your take on Simone's, the interior is very visually interesting, and its cool to have a place like that near our neck of the woods.
