Drastic Measures Brewing

Great beer and awesome choices for whatever flavors you like. Very clean and a friendly atmosphere with a little lounge section ud83dudc4cnFood is presented well and a decent portion, not highly overpriced either. I'll go back.

This brewery is good and has even more promise, particularly if they improve their food. The beer is average for microbrewery standards, but has more promise. Several of their beers we unique, had high ABV and/or otherwise were above average, including their imperial stout. The staff at the bar didn't seem overly happy about working or serving us, but tolerated us and were responsive to requests for refills. The Brewery is pet friendly and has an outdoor patio on the sidewalk. It's not a great patio, but it does offer outdoor seating. There is a very cool large window overlooking the large brewing tanks. There are some board games as well as an awesome old school Nintendo game with loads of games to choose from. The tables, chairs and bar area provide a nice ambiance.nnThere was a decent selection of beer and the prices were reasonable.nnThe food offered, was a bit of a weird and poor experience. While it's nice to have food offered at a brewery, the food quality, pricing (for poor quality), and logistics were poor. We ignored the other poor reviews and tried for ourselves, but found the poor reviews were definitely warranted. You had to order at the back of the restaurant and couldn't put food on the same tab as your meal. I would definitely suggest eating elsewhere until the kitchen can figure out how to not serve stale and cold fries, meals that came out in a haphazard manner (we were a party of four and no more than one dish came out within several minutes of eat other, which made the dining experience disjointed), the food was overly salty (more than you'd expect for a restaurant and bar food), and the Mac and cheese, which appeared to by Kraft, was burnt (how does that even happen and then also get served to a customer with several large charred black clumps?). The chips, salsa and guacamole was hit and miss. The chips were poor (the types of corn chips you get in the oversized budget packages that have no flavor). The salsa and gauc were good but the guac portion was tiny. I'd be OK upping the price on that appetizer so you at least had a larger guac portion. The chicken pita was a great concept. The pita was excellent, but the chicken seemed like it was poor quality, overly salty, and too chewy. There also was loads of sauce on the pita that monopolized the taste of the sandwich (it would be better to have it on the side). Did I mention how awful the fries were? They need to be made fresh and not sitting around and what almost seemed like heated up in a microwave. The high point on the food was the quesadilla (appetizer and not the kids version). It was filled with chicken and cheese and the side of pico was very good. The cheese on top of the quesadilla did make it messy to eat.

Great atmosphere, great beer and great food! Hopefully Sauk Centre can come up with as great of food & drink as great as Drastic Measures!

Love this place! Great food. Amazing beer. Awesome atmosphere.

So the beer is great the 8 times that I have visited but...... having to pry for attention or acknowledgement to order anything in this place is getting to be too much. You can stand there for 10 minutes in front of the bartender with 2 people at the bar and they act like you don’t exist. Bartenders whip right past you without a single glance or a hey how ya doing I’ll be right with you. Nothing absolutely nothing. So this may be of help for the people seeing this review, as I am a local business owner. You need to NEED TO , acknowledge a patron within the first 30 seconds of the arrival or you have lost your tip and your business . Simple simple business tactic , as I sit here and write this reviews I notice a bartender attending a table. I was under the assumption you had to beg for beer at the bar? Shall I take a picture of the inner click? Shall I become one? Or can I just give you my money ?
