I've been here plenty of times just for the beer, which I enjoy! No complaints from me about that.
Our last visit was mainly to try the food from their new kitchen, The Lodge. I was really pumped to give this a go as all the food looks so delicious on instagram, and I love to support local. I'm so sad to say I left so disappointed. We were recommended to get the fried chicken and poutine, which we did. We also ordered the steak fingerlings.
The poutine was very underwhelming. The fries were lukewarm. The cheese curds were really chewy and actually quite hard to eat. There was hardly any gravy on it, so we asked the cashier if we could get extra. He never came back.
The steak fingerlings were OK. Not horrible, but not good. A couple pieces were chewy.
The fried chicken was by far the best dish, but even then it seemed a little burnt and was wayyyyyy too salty. Whether it was the dredging that was loaded with salt or the chicken itself from brining? I don't know, but it was kind of unbearable. The chicken was juicy though, so that was a plus.
I really like to concept here and I am bummed we didn't have the best experience we were hoping for. Maybe it was just the items we selected or because it was a slower night B team was in the kitchen? I'm down to give it one more try and even give the brunch a go! Just wanted to share some suggestions with ownership as I know these are simple things that can be fixed!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Nov 14, 2023
On a Sunday after my friend's wedding, we were able to enjoy a final send off at Northern Pine Brewing. The weather was pristine when we went, which made every seat (indoor or on the patio) a good one! It was naturally well-lit at the time we went.
From their tummy drafts to their tasty snacks, this is a great spot for a laid back afternoon or low key night out. My boyfriend and I shared the poutine to get some food in us before our drive home. It took a bit to come out, but I know our party held up the kitchen!
My favorite part were the boardgames they had to offer!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 10, 2024
I love the vibe of this brewery!!!! They had a cute fireplace on the patio. They have food that you can order separately. Tried the sliders and chicken sandwich they were well proportioned. The had a variety of beers and wine. Bartender was very attentive. I really liked the decor. They also have tv if you want to watch the game. Parking was easy to find.

Been here a few times, but probably won't be back. Oceanside has several new local microbreweries that deserve a try before heading back to this one.
It's a fairly sterile interior with bench seating and a view of the beer vats and taps. The beers I've tried are not bad, but there's nothing special about them and they are definitely not well chilled. The bartenders are friendly enough and they know what the beer they serve is supposed to highlight.
Part 2: They've lost their stable restaurant partner (That Boy Good), so they now rotate through local food vendors. While some have been really good, you can't plan on any one particular variety of food without calling to see who's serving that day.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 15174341Jan 7, 2023
Really cool vibe. Attentive staff. Combined with TBG BBQ. Excellent beers. Ordered a flight, the Saison was my favorite. Really enjoyed their atmosphere and woodsy feel. Reminded me of being back in the mountains. Nice little getaway in Oside.

We enjoyed a couple of brews which all tasted delicious we really liked the Apple cider (blanking on the name) but it was so tasty we ended up ordering two each. The vibe was great and kicked back very much a place to catch up with friends and enjoy a tasty beverage. The bartender was nice and always helped up whenever we went to the bar there was never a wait and he was readily helpful with any suggestions if we asked.

Big, airy, spacious taproom with seating inside and out. They share space with That Boy Good so come thirsty and hungry. You're a fool if you don't get some BBQ while you're here.
I very much appreciated how they offer many different styles of beer. In other words, they have a couple of IPAs but not 20 of them. That's a really good thing.
I ordered a 5 taster flight with two gose/sours, an IPA, a Belgian ale, and a porter. The Belgian ale was boozy and outstanding. The porter had a nice coffee flavor and the other beers were good.
The music was a tad loud and a tad grungy but not too bothersome.
They're dog and kid friendly and the barkeep was very attentive.
Plenty of free parking in the lot.
I would happily return. Good stuff!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
