I’m excited by everything the new space brings, not only in the form of more excellent Great Notion beers and tasty food, but also the growth expected in this area of town over the next few years.

The coffee shop also offers breakfast to-go in the form of fresh pop-tarts, pastries, and burritos, from 7am to 11am, Monday through Saturday.

Today, the brewery is a known entity nationwide among beer nerds, so much so that occupying a larger production space was a necessity just to keep up with demand. And while a number of these new offerings were still a work in progress, we were ready and willing to jump on board.
