Trails End Taproom

Great selection of tap craft brews and wines. Very good pizza, helpful staff, and a great ambience. Taps are serve yourself and you pay a price per ounce (clearly marked). They are well grouped by type and the touch screen displays give complete information on each offering. All tips are donated to charity and they have multiple social events each week (bike tours, trivia, charity fundraisers). Overall, a great place to visit . . . regularly!!

The concept is very cool especially if you’re like me and you don’t like very many beers. This way I don’t have to commit to anything and risk not liking it. Their food options are slim but I have tried to Green Chili Pie and it was good. The portions were a little small. They were also out of pizza so it was a bummer for GF hubby who couldn’t eat any of the other lunch items. Overall has a great atmosphere. Providers games to borrow. Love it!

I will give them 3 for the effort at an interesting business model. That being said they have around 40 taps self serve pay by the ounce. Sounds pretty cool right. Me and a guest poured ourselves 2 great glasses full of foam. My first glass going by the fill gauge was 6 ounces I went and sat to wait for it to settle. The second glass went worse than the first only netted 3 ounces. My guests luck was the same netting about 6 and 3. So we had a total of 9 ounces a piece. Drum roll please this 9 ounces of beverage which is less than you get pretty much on any type of craft brew cost over $20 the tab would have been $12 or below anywhere else I have been around. Not to mention of those 40 taps none are in house. So as I was told at checkout a little about the business model I was informed because it's self serve all tips go to charity ... nice only how do you justify a tip for self serve and price gouging, being on a tourist strip does not qualify, if the taps were reasonably priced that's when you mention tips for charity not after you gouged me for brews that I can get from the liquor store literally in the same lot.

Interesting concept and overall good execution. Lots of specialty beer and wine choices. Good open atmosphere and easy to use taps. Regarding the cost of an evening here, be careful. Many of the choices are reasonable, but some seem very expensive: $1, $2, up to $2.50 an OUNCE. OK to taste, but that could make a standard 12 oz glass cost upwards of $25 to even $30! Thankfully they did specifically call out to us as noobs to watch out for the prices, but wow. All I can say is keep your head screwed on and go for the lower end $0.43 cents per oz options to keep an evening's fun in line with what you would expect to pay.

Great place to sample beers. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Pizza was delicious! They also have food trucks that visit regularly.
