Just drove by on my way home, and the place looks finished. Beer on the shelves on the west all, taps along the back wall and a cooler on the east wall. Can't wait for it to open.

I went to the Casual Pint Grand Opening last night. I drove by at 3:30 and there was a dozen people in line so I ran an errand and go back about 3:45 or 3:50 and I was about 35th in line. By 4 I would say the line was well over 60.

The place was great. Had a really nice selection with the 30 tap beers and the bottles looked like a great selection too, but it was so packed I didn't take a close look at them. Chicken wings looked good, I had a Bratwurst and it was ok.

I left about 8pm and the place was still full. I plan on going back soon. Its great having a beer place within walking distance of my house.

FYI, a little trivia, the first Keg to blow was a keg of Dean's Holiday Spice by infusion and the first bottle to sell out was the Pirate Bomb by Prairie.

Must have had a good day because since I have left last night, They have added "Shake Chocolate Porter (Nitro") from Boulder Beer, Which replaced Summit Oatmeal Porter (Nitro). The also replaced "Cinnamon Raisin Commodore" from Balast Point, which replaced Brickway's Vanilla Coffee Stout.

I dent mention it before but Brickway's Maple Pecan replaced Dean's Holiday Spice.

Done.

Seems like they are staying fairly steady so far. Every time a tap blows they clean the line and then put a different beer on tap. Seems like they are regularly posting new beers on un-tapped on the weekends.

Also make sure to get there casual pint app as it gives you discounts when you check-in

There is a corking fee on the large bottles. Think its $2 or $3, but not a bad deal at all.

Sorry to have missed this. The Shake Chocolate Porter in the bottle isn't the greatest and overcarbonated. But the nitro pour is fantastic!!

Wings Look good.
I had the Brat and it was just a typical Brat.

I have seen them give out samples of the pretzels and beer cheese, but I haven't tried on yet.

Fyi, its an Order at the Bar place, no wait staff.

Tonight is "Pint Night" they have a couple Sierra Nevada brews on tap and a special Sierra Nevada glass. $6 with beer in it. Sidecar Orang Pale Ale and Golden IPA v2017

Friday is 1/2 price growler fills.

If you are an IPA fan, they still have Elysian Space Dust on tap! Great IPA.

Its a great neighborhood craft beer joint. I am going to guess some "Beer Snobs" might turn their nose up at it, but if you're a regular person that enjoys great beers in a nice environment, your really going to like it.

Every time a Keg runs out they put something different on. I have been there at least once a week since they opened and there is always new beer on tap. Along with that, they clean the lines really well every time a keg blows.

I waked in tonight, there is a lady working on a laptop at one table, husband & wife at a other table, a bunch of friends at another... I finally figured out the best way to describe Casual Pint... it's a Starbucks for Beer Drinkers!

Also, they have a brewmasters club. $20 a month. Every 10th Pint is free. Free stainless steel growler and free t-shirt when you sign up. Finally you get a free growler fill every month.

Finally they are trying to get a Bingo night going.

That's the exact impression I came away with after spending a bit of time there Sunday afternoon. It's laid back, relaxing and comfortable atmosphere is right up my alley. Can't wait to spend more time at Casual Pint...

Can one of you help me here? Which building is this in? The front one closest to Pacific or the one in back. And then which side of the build: North? South? East? or West? I am meeting a group of friends there next week and none of us has ever ventured off of Pacific into the village. Last night after work I drove around all the sides looking for this place but the sun was so low the glare made it impossible to read the signs. Sounds like a really cool place.
My son got a 27 on his ACT. No this score is not as high as what Jeff's son achieved. But one has to remember the paternal gene-pool my son has to overcome. On a PGPAB [Paternal Gene-Pool Adjusted Basis], my son's score is a 37 and Jeff's son's PGPAB ACT score is 19.

Finally made it for Bells & Brats last night. What a great little bar! Knowledgeable, friendly bartenders, great atmosphere, great beer selection. I concur with Brad - the garage door open to the patio in February was a great bonus! Will definitely be back. Walked by Cedar on the way back to the car and they had some great live music going - will have to make a stop there soon as well. Two great additions to Countryside Village!
