Readers have been clamoring for a review of Teays River Brewing & Public House for a while, and friends have spoken highly of it. So when my mom came to visit a few weeks ago, I piled the family into the car and off we went. We were there on a Friday evening, and it was busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table.
