Daft badger was the first place we came when visiting CDA. It is a welcoming place, great beer and a wonderful menu for food. I like that it's in theocal neighborhood instead of downtown central. Now that we live in CDA we like to stop in from time to time. In a place with many good places to eat Daft Badger still stands out.

My parents are visiting from Boise, my in laws came over from Airway Heights and our office is right down the street so we decided to go to this off the wall kind of place called the Daft Badger. Funny name...best food in CDA!!! I am an avid (self proclaimed) pit master, I smoke any meat that I can get my hands on. That said, I usually get any dish that has smoked meat in it so I can judge the chef. It rarely goes well for the chefs smoked meat, mine is almost always way better! Holy Moly! This burnt end brisket in the Mac n Cheese was fantastic! Seriously best food in the area and it's just a brewery! Love it, KRISTIN is the kindest and most attentive waitress. I feel like I am using too many exclamation points here!

Parking is a pain, only street parking on residential streets. Clean area, wood decor, like log cabin feel. As soon as we entered several young ladies said have a seat we will bring everything to you. We found a seat in the covered warm patio area. A young lady brought us food and beer menus. I ordered a six flight, both my table mates had beer tasters. We ordered the large pork nachos and pretzel. AMAZING nachos... three adults, one 15 month old shared it and we still had left overs. They don't skip on the pork or cheese. However I would not have the pickled jalapeños next time because they're sweet, pickled jalapeños . However, they do offer fresh, diced jalapeños. Three days later one of my table mates couldn't wait to go back for their pretzel and honey mustard sauce. I want to go back for those amazing pork nachos. Great customer service, great food, great beer selection just terrible parking.

Good variety of food on the menu but I have to order the nachos every time; they're the best in the area. I don't eat meat so I ask for the pork on the side and sometimes add garbanzo beans. There's always the perfect amount of cheese and I love the combination of red cabbage, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. The beer lineup is great, too! The blood orange IPA is a classic and one of my favorites.

For Daft Badger Brewing I had the Flying Kiwi on two separate occasions. This is a Vienna style Lager with Kiwi at the forefront. I have had Kiwi beers in the past and usually I get along with them okay. This particular lager is light and clean with not too much sweetness which is something I prefer. My first outing with this lager was off the tap at the taproom which has a nice patio by the way. It's where I enjoyed this beer. The carbonation was good and the Kiwi highlight was pleasant and noticeable. I bought a can of the same, Flying Kiwi to take home. The carbonation was not comparable with what was in the can and what was off the tap. It really affected the flavor of the beer from the can and didn't taste all that similar to what I had off the tap. It still wasn't bad but the flavors seemed more muddled and not as distinctive as what the beer on tap tasted like.
