I used to have a big problem with Hillard's beer. It just wasn't that good. their standard beers are pretty one dimensional. Very simple flavors, no malt flavor even for styles that should, and and a hop flavor that's too prominent, even for beers that shouldn't have a prominent hop flavor.

BUT! Try their oak aged stuff. It's really good. There's a really good whiskey barrel aged sour, and some other that I can't remember because I drank too many of them. (That's where the fourth star comes from. Probably the third star as well.) They also have regular food trucks and a lot of outdoor seating that gets pretty busy on nice evenings and weekends.
