Wow just when you think you are lost, there it is... you know the old brick building that looks condemned but apparently serves home brew.

The building is impressive, the beer is decent enough.. the prices are great... The space seems to small for what the have to work with. Two small sections are packed if anything more than ten people show up together. The outdoor patio left us wet from water dripping from the cracked roof drainage, the sun barely could peak past the old water tin.....
But i found this place awesome... yeah I am not usually a big fan of brewery beer either... the pallet craves Pabst and that's what i feed it... but i was really impressed with Dos Perros.

Can't Wait for summer to roll through and spend some quality happy hours out that way of the Yazoo......

Once you get past the obstacle course that is finding this place, you'll really enjoy time spent at Yazoo's tap room.  The building used to be an old car manufacturing plant, and was subsequently abandoned before coming to house Yazoo.  So, there's lots of ambience to be found in the old brick walls (there's just not lots of air conditioning for those hot summer days).  While it gets crowded, you can usually find a seat in the room adjacent to the tap room, or out in the courtyard.

As for ordering, get the sampler ($6 for 5 tastings) and pair it with the cheese platter.  Yum.  While, I'm not a big fan of all their beers, I do love trying them in rapid succession.  The only problem is that they don't have any means of identifying which beers are which once they've poured them (most places use a place mat with writing on it).  So, it can be hard to remember what's what.  

Also, be sure to get a growler - it's a relatively cheap way to enjoy a good amount of beer...I would suggest their hefeweizen or the dos perros.

Back in the day (okay, precious few years ago), it seemed like the Yazoo brewery was so hard to remember how to get to, it never got too crowded.  But before too long, tales of the great beer and the gnarly brick abandoned warehouse lounging area in which to drink it spread quickly, and now the place is PACKED at all hours they're open (which is not many).  I enjoyed several lovely summer afternoons there, munching on the cheese plate and sipping beers.  The enclosed courtyard with plants sprouting out of the crumbling bricks made a great photo op as well.  The last times I've visited, however, it was shoulder to shoulder in the tap room, and getting anything involved at least a half hour wait each trip to the bar.  Five stars to this local business and their great product, but I'll pass on the tap room as a place to hang out.  Go fill up your growlers, but you'll probably enjoy drinking on your own porch more than being squeezed in here.

DId not take the tour, but spent some time in the tasting room on a crowded, rainy Saturday.  The open-air all brick room next to the tasting room was less crowded and moe condusive to conversation and taking our time.  The sampler was a great deal... for $6 you get 5 5oz tasting flights, and then the opportunity to buy a 5 dollar jug of your favorite (the jug, or "growler" is glass and will be a very sharp looking souvenier).  Also, beers were flavorful and delicious, although the ESB had an over-powering pine taste.
