Agreed - their OG taproom was a nice "small town/everybody knows your name" vibe, vastly superior location and you could bring in much better/cheaper food. The new taproom is excellent for their big releases though.That's at least 75% of it. He's a piece of ****.
I would never tell a beer tourist not to visit TG, but as a local I only go to the tap room 2-3 times a year. It's just not that fun of a venue, especially compared to the original (which is now a really good beer bar that I visit regularly). Just large and impersonal, and you don't have those random tap room conversations that can be a total blast.
The beer is still pretty good, and I drink it fairly regularly.
