About Reserve Artisan Ales
Reserve Artisan Ales is a pour-your-own brewery in a historic building in downtown Galesburg. Its website says the 30 taps are fed from a restored 1960s Peoria city bus that now works as the beer, wine and soda cooler. The building was once a car dealership.
The website says the taps carry more than 15 of its own beers, plus other regional beer, wine and old fashioned sodas. There is also a full craft cocktail bar.
In warm weather the patio has fire tables and lounge seating. The taproom serves pretzels and pizzas year round, and a food trolley runs on a set schedule. The website calls the place family friendly.
The site lists monthly themed trivia nights, live music in patio season and six rotating pinball machines. The Vault, a larger event venue, is part of the same project.
