Recess Brewing

I love local breweries and am so happy to see a new one in my hometown. They have week day deals. Friday is $ 1 off all drafts and wine. Tried a flight of the cats meow, 2211, marshmallow stout, eville pumpkin. All were pretty good. 2211 was exactly like the menu describes «feels like you’re being punched in the face by flowers» haha my favorite was the pumpkin and marshmallow stout. Bought a growler $ 5 and filled it with the eville pumpkin $ 11 to bring to my husband since we live by Memphis now. But we’ll be back to fill it around Christmas.
will have to try the ciders next time!
Love the atmosphere. My friend who took me here said the wooden tables were made from a local barn that was torn down by the new YMCA. They also have board games which I’ll have to partake in next time!

LOVE! Hosted a jewelry party here a few weeks ago and the owner, as well as the employee working that night, bent over backwards to accommodate our large group. Matt, the owner, helped me set up my tables and provided plates and napkins for the food we brought in. The large open windows and great music selection added to the festive atmosphere. My go to beer is the Yellow Bus, or 2211 if I’m feeling rowdy, but the other members of our party enjoyed the Lincoln’s and Pedagogical. Hooray for E-​ville to have such great place for us all to enjoy!

The best part about this place was the large open window to mainstreet. The IPA (22 11) we tried was horrible, this is saying a lot the company I had a almost exclusivity drinks IPAs and decided two drinks was all she could muster. the flavor was similar to bile really disappointing. I’m hoping we just tried fluke beer because it would be nice for a place like this to make it in edwardsville.

Great microbrewery with friendly service and a great atmosphere. They are the first brewery in IL to participate in the Ales for ALS campaign where a portion of the profit from a designated beer goes towards the fight against ALS!

I’ve been here multiple times — if you’re into the trend of IPA’s go visit! However, for anyone not liking IPA’s you don’t have much of a selection — over half the beers are IPA’s! Even in the summer, there’s no wheat, saison, witte, or ambers — they need to expand their palette! Otherwise, cool place!

We got lucky that on Valentines night there were plenty of open tables. The atmosphere was very cozy with the fire in the fire place and many couples enjoying beers and wine.
They also have free water, pop, popcorn and pretzles. The pricing was great as I ordered a flight of 6 beers (3oz pours each) to try all of there beers and a wine. $ 10 for the flight and $ 5 for the wine. $ 5 for pints and growler fills looked reasonable at $ 11 – 16 per fill and $ 5 for thr growler. They fill different growlers as well.
The beers — if you like hoppy and bitter (most people do, I don’t) then this is your hometown brewery. I liked the porter (Palatogical?) and the Clown Assassin. The name for the CA was awesome so right there I was in.
It is a nice quiet environment and we were even playing board games and card games at our table. Will certainly come back and I like to see that they offer «memberships» for monthly growler fills to help support them. Good fit for Edwardsville.

If you like craft beers and always wanting to try something different, this is your place. There’s some (not very many) to choose from. I don’t have a favorite as I have a diverse range of tastes. Very cool atmosphere and warm setting. Only downer is not much seating on busy nights but you can’t have it all I guess. Great work and I know it will become the place to meet, hang and socialize!

This place has great potential. The beers opening week were honestly a little thin on body, but that’s not uncommon for a new micro-​brewery. Edwardsville really needed a place like this. I look forward to tasting their beers as they evolve.
