Had a great time hanging out here with friends on a recent Saturday night! I love hitting up breweries, and since I hadn't been here before, I was game! First off, it was Saturday night around 6 o'clock, and it was fairly packed, but we were still able to get seated right away. On to the brews! I ordered their hazy IPA (Faith, Hops & Love), and I tried their West Coast IPA (Puppets in the Sky) as well. The West Coast IPA was good, but the hazy IPA was amazing! It had a tasty citrus flavor to it, and some nice clouding as well! Overall, the service also was great. I'd definitely come again!

Great beers, worth the visit. And leaving with few packs. But don't expect too much food side

An update, the kids room is no longer there and that room is now a gaming room, bit stinky but bearable. Beer still good

We stopped by after a wine tasting and were pleasantly surprised by this great brewery. The staff were fantastic, and I enjoyed a flight of their beers. My top picks were the Blood Orange Lupi and Tartbreak. Unfortunately, I'm not in the area to try some of the darker beers they have scheduled to release soon--what a shame! I'd definitely recommend this place and would return if I'm back in the area.

What a hidden gem... I wouldn't have known this place existed had it not been for Yelp. I loved Blood Orange beer! I would def come back just for that. It was very chill inside, not too loud at all and great for catching up with friends.

This is a pretty cool spot. I stopped in here for the record show happening at the back of the bar. They have snacks & a food truck here. The back area is pretty spacious for the record enthusiasts to browse through several collections. It's in a business park so you wouldn't know it's there unless you see the signs. It gets really noisy inside so if you're looking for a quiet spot this isn't it. I'd probably go here again if there was something that piqued my interest.

Too many breweries in town serve the same old dreck: IPAs, IPAs, and (for a little variety) Double IPAs. It gets old fast! And that's coming from someone who has at least one IPA in her fridge at any given time. One of the many ways Shaddow Puppet stands out is its huge selection of beers, which change frequently. There were stouts, amber ales, blonde ales, sours, a gose, and even a cream ale in addition to a fun array of IPAs. There's definitely a good drink for everyone there. The staff were really friendly, too! I got lots of smiles and nods hello. The bartender was more than happy to answer questions about their brewery and let me sample a few riskier choices. It was a lovely atmosphere! In terms of the beers I tried, the blood orange IPA was by far my favorite. It was tart but not overwhelmingly so. It was reminiscent of the Blood on the Tracks IPA, but with stronger blood orange flavor, which was great. I ended up going back for a full pint of it. The Good Dog Hazy IPA was excellent. As a dog mom, I'm a sucker for anything with a cute dog on it, but luckily this beer had a good design and a good taste. Solid hazy that might supplant Hazy Little Thing's permanent spot in my fridge. I was nervous about Mega Buzz, as it was a double IPA, but the presence of honey made me want to try. And it was great! Definitely hoppy and nowhere near as sweet as mead, but really well-balanced and mellow. I could drink a lot of that stuff! The only disappointment was the Cinch vanilla cream ale. I was hoping for something like a Cali Creamin', but this fell short of that. It was a little too mild and, maybe my palate was shot by all the other beers, but I couldn't taste any vanilla. That being said, this brewery is a must-try for any beer enthusiast in the area. Everything is brewed on-site, the staff are affable and knowledgeable, and the beers are darn good! Can't wait to swing by again.

Solid beer selection and pleasant service with lite beer snacks available and rotating food vendors. They have a beer for everyone, even a friend that only drinks Bud Light. Good mix inside of smaller more intimate tables and larger bench seat style as well. We had a couple flights of their more popular taps, but we will definitely be back to try some more selections.

Shadow Puppet Beer and Brewery is the best. Craig Danielson brewer has got his recipes dialed in. There is something for everyone here. Craig, his family and Friends put this place together. Such creativity newest addition is the huge speaker ball made from barrel Rings and repurposed parts and speakers. There is something new to taste and new to look at every time I'm there. The have a club which is nice to be a part of, member parties, food trucks and lots of games, tv's and music to keep busy. Bravo Craig see you soon.
