I live a few blocks away from Notch, and they've been consistently great- in fact they're one of the reasons my fiance and I picked Salem to move to! During normal times the interior brewery is spacious and has a cool atmosphere as a rehabbed warehouse building- the type of vibe your average new brewery tries to copy with lots of faux-industrial decor.
Their mainline beers are often smaller percentage session type IPAs, but they also have a lot of other less commonly seen styles.
We came a few times during the pandemic, and they have a good system set up. Unfortunately October in Salem during a pandemic is an especially crazy times and we've been oversaturated with visitors who don't think the rules should apply to them, as you can read elsewhere...see you in November!
