      Yep! That one was a little easier, but I cropped out any decals referencing its brewing affiliations :)

      It was a bit harder for me since I had to go their to verify. I was surprised to see a decal supporting the high school marching band at a brewery. But, as long as the band isn't going their for beer, I guess it's OK, and I comment them for their community support!

      They also make root beer for the kids and serve some food, so they consider themselves a family-friendly spot.
