Ill Will Brewing

We stopped at this brewery out of sheer curiosity!! Smoothie beers... yep I'm checking it out!! We tried 6 different beers and they were all delicious! Could not taste alcohol in these at all but it's in there!!The staff were very friendly and informative! They even have an outdoor chess game!! We will be back!

My cousin held his pre-wedding get together here, and I can definitely see why people like it. Ill Will is in a larger property with a barbeque restaurant, wedding venue, some BnBs, and some great outdoor space. The brewery has a great patio with a couple of firepits and I'm pretty sure the big doors roll up in the summer. They have a variety of beers on tap, and their specialty beers called smoothies. They seem pretty popular, but I did not particularly care for them - they have a very intense, true fruit flavor, but the texture was a bit off putting to me. It's kind of like a very think juice or very thin smoothie. I tried the fall apple/cinnamon/pear, and it's legit like drinking thinned out applesauce. Intense flavor, but, again, the texture was not doing it for me. I did see a lot of people enjoying the beverage, and the different flavors are intriguing. At the time I was there, they aren't offering ciders, so it's just beer or smoothies, so it was a water night for me. The space is cool, and the bartender was friendly, but with no in bar food, and drinks I didn't care for, it wasn't quite my vibe.

This is definitely a fun place to check out. Staff was welcoming and friendly. They asked if it was our first time there and explained one menu board had their smoothies, which is what they are known for and the other board has the normal beer. We were there to try the smoothies but I definitely want to try some of their stouts when I get the chance.I completely understand their smoothies may not be for everyone. They aren't even like a smoothie sour you would have at another brewery. They truly are something onto their own and hard to imagine until you just try one. They are thick and can be heavy (but not as heavy as I thought). However the flavor they manage to put in them is incredible. They had a buckeye one with caramel that was to die for. Just imagine dessert in a glass. They did a watermelon one that was refreshing and summer in a glass. They did a cookie series with oatmeal creme pie, Oreo and chocolate chip. These guys are making creations you just don't see other places. It's nice though that for those who want a lager or an IPA etc have those options.It's a chill environment and they tend to have great music playing. There are board games available as well. Plus an outdoor seating area if you would prefer to be outside. They do have some cans available as well as crowlers. The price is up there a little just due to the ingredients they use and the small batch production. It's nice to be able to get a little treat to bring home though.

Biggest thing I was not crazy about. The music. It was heavy rock/metal. We were out all day walking at nearby Shakerwoods and the last thing I wanted to listen to was that music. We had smoothies and Helles. I am not a fan of the smoothies but really enjoyed the crispness of the Helles.

This is a beautiful property with a lot of drink choices. I got the slushy and it was super yummy. I did ask to try one of the smoothie beers and was told I would have to come back when the line wasn't so long - not cool. Lots of very nice outdoor seating with sun and shade. Even has a large chess game outside.

Their rotating taps are well maintained. Don't be afraid to read the boards and ask questions. They have games on the tables and fire pit areas outside to chill. Check the food truck schedule online if you are hungry or there are a few places close to pick stuff up. The bartenders can suggest places that would deliver as well. All in all it's a nice chill hang and is no pressure. Enjoy all they have to offer including something new each time.

We have visited many times and wanted to take our out of town guests. And being a first time guest at a brewery, samples are necessary to select a beer you like. Unfortunately, Gray was not accommodating and actually quite rude when he was asked for samples. We've never experienced this type of service there and felt very unwelcome. When Gray left and the next bartenders came in, it was completely different. They gladly provided samples to customers, encouraging them try different brews. We had already had our drinks, many that went left behind because they were not what we liked. We will not be back for quite some time, which is unfortunate because we like to support local and the location is beautiful and has great outside space for families and larger groups. The games are also a nice touch.
