We visit the brewery occasionally and we are always impressed with everything. The beer is very good and the staff are all very awesome. They always take the time to at least say hi. Dave and Ryan always go above and beyond, they are great people. The atmosphere is very positive and relaxing at the same time. We are huge fans of the brewery.

My family and I stopped in at Paddlefish Brewing for the first time last Saturday afternoon and had a great time trying out their beer selection and playing card games.

I really enjoyed a few of their beers (Oh Fer Cute IPA and Red Amber) and the taproom is very nice, spacious and has a super cool VW bus inside for photo ops.

The best part was we were staying at Riverside Campground and it was just a short 1 block walk to get to the brewery. I definitely recommend stopping at Paddlefish if you're a beer or seltzer lover and want to try a new place. There are even a few places to grab food that are just across the street!

Great selection of beers. Rotating food truck options depending on the day. Fun vibe and relaxed atmosphere. When we went there was live music but I am not sure if that’s a daily thing or just weekends. We went on a Saturday.
