BEER:
Meridian Wit (3.75) – Very light-bodied with no hop character, as per witbier style; highly drinkable; fruit character could be improved.
Jarrylo Pale Ale (3.75) – Medium-bodied ale; distinct, but not overbearing level of hoppiness.
Big Sky Steam Lager California Common (4.25) – Amber colored and malty; big flavor from malt sweetness.
Coffee Infused Porter (4.75) – Full-bodied porter; huge, roasted, bold flavors abound; coffee notes provide a nice balance for the big malty flavor.
Iron Horse Porter (4.50) – Massive roasted character; full-bodied, malty goodness.
