Notch Brewery & Tap Room - Brighton

Great beer. While they have some IPA styles of you want them, it is their German and Czech stuff that is what you should be having. They show you what great beers are in styles that inspired brewers for centuries. Outside of Czech and Germany, I've never had anything as good as what they make in these styles. If you can never visit those places yourself or you want to taste something to remind you of when you did, go here. I like the Salem location more, but the beer is great in both places and this is a nice location as well.

The renovated speedway is great! It's exciting to see that space used for something cool. Notch is a great brewery with cool staff. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Great brewery with fantastic indoor and outdoor seating. The beer selection is pretty expansive, with a lot of Czech and German beers. Findings seats usually isn’t an issue as there is a lot of space both indoor and outdoor. There is also a good selection of games available.

A lovely new spot! The beer is excellent. The set up was clean. I guess my only criticism would be that they didn't have plastic utensils on hand. We ordered delivery because they (1) allow outside food; and (2) don't have food of their own. I understand that it might not be considered their responsibility, but it struck me as an easy fix that would've heightened the experience there.

Great new location in Brighton! Parking lot next to the building has limited spots, otherwise it’s street parking.
Good beer selection for pretty average prices.
Friendly & helpful service.
Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, good for large groups of people.
Kid & family friendly.
