Small, comfortable taproom featuring colorful octopus designs on the walls.
Octopi does quite a bit of contract brewing; 13 beers on tap. Below are a few that we sampled.
BEER
Uniek Pils Bavarian Pilsner (4.50) – Medium body, medium bitterness, extremely drinkable; reminiscent of a Bavarian beer garden
Cucumber Wheat (4.50) – Strongly balanced between wheat beer character and cucumbers; easy to drink a lot of this beer
Pineapple IPA (4.00) – Nifty combo of pineapple and IPA character; low IBUs make for an approachable IPA
Madagascar Vanilla Mild Ale (3.50) – Strong vanilla flavor dominates the palate; hop bitterness masked by vanilla
Coconut Chili Porter (1.50) – Brewed for Abandon All Hope; chili burn far too dominant; loses porter character
Coffee Stout (4.00) – Big, bold, stout character; coffee enhances malty flavors; high ABV contributes significantly to flavor profile
FOOD
They offer fresh pizzas, artisanal nuts and pasture raised beef jerky.
