Not a brewery, but the BEST spot for beer. They have around 10 coolers of all different kinds of worldly beer. Save your empties, pay when you leave. Food available with this spot being my 2nd favorite for pizza. Couch seating, outdoor seating, board games to play, lots of good vibes! Very close-by.

Hands down the best shopping mall around, in my opinion! They have all the stores I love, all the stores you love, and even some local/no-name stores with some spectacular finds. Great restaurants attached along with a movie theatre.
Traffic can be a little ratty around this area, but once at the mall it's soooo worth it!
