I have to say I kind of agree with the ""fake reviewer"". I lived in Casa Grande but worked in Tucson, every day, for almost 3 years. Visited Nimbus several times and always enjoyed it. Old Monkeyshine is a fantastic beer in this drinker's opinion. Kegs of Monkeyshine and the red ale have been hits at my parties. \r
\r
Funny though, that it's more expensive by the six pack @ Nimbus than it is in the grocery store. \r
\r
Anyway, I've had the food there a few times and it was always OK, not amazing, but not bad. Why would you go to a working brewery and expect the food to be 5 star quality, anyway? You go to a brewery to drink the beer when it's very fresh and tasty, and the beer at Nimbus is pretty darn tasty. \r
\r
It is in an industrial area, but just around the corner from TEP, so Nimbus is a great place to stop before or after a baseball game or some other event (like the Centurion's annual theme party). \r
\r
Naturally, since it's in an industrial area, there are aspects that you might not appreciate - the train tracks, the commercial buildings etc. Regardless, the view of the Catalinas is pretty sweet, and it's fun to have to raise your voice occassionally when a train rolls by. \r
\r
I say it all adds up to create a unique atmosphere that you're really not going to find anywhere else. \r
\r
Summary: If you're interested in quality beer in a setting unlike anything else you've experienced, go to Nimbus and have a good time. If you're interested in taking the family out for a more restaurant like experience, go to the Nimbus Bistro on Tanque Verde. The food is better, plus they have wine and a full bar for your wife and you won't look like the alkie wierdo who took his underage kids to a brewery.
Pros: Good beer, view & unique decor - it's a warehouse!
Cons: The train is loud, but really this just ads to the atmospher
