We stopped by Galena Brewing Company just out of curiosity......and fell in love with their micro beers. Tried a couple samples first then had the Uly's Stout and Miners treasure. Both are excellent beers (I prefer amber or dark beers). I've never had a smoother stout Than Uly's. More

I had a pulled pork sandwich with a side of sweet potatoes and a pint of pale ale. The servings are very generous and the... More

If you are going for the beers produced in-house, you will enjoy the quality and variety they offer. They have a list of seasonal and a list of their flagship brews. If you are going for the food, keep looking. The place was clean and roomy. The food and service were minimal. More

We stopped here for lunch and to take the brewery tour. We were there on a quiet Friday afternoon so plenty of tables to pick from with no waiting . Our server was Megan and she was wonderful. There was a small mess up with our food order, but Megan took care of everything and made it right. Their food... More

I am a home brewer. I enjoyed their IPA. I understand that they are even using some locally grown Galena hops. Our meal was good and the portions generous. (We had our two teenage boys with us and it would be great if they added a burger to the menu). The best part of our visit was the waitstaff service... More

My wife & I were visiting the town of Galena for a few days over spring break and came across a wonderful microbrewery during our visit - Galena Brewing Company. Everything is brewed right there on the premises. Being a fan of microbrew beers, I have a very discriminating taste for what I like and do not like. And this... More
