A massive taproom and expansive patio area. A pizza kitchen offers an easy option to grab some food quickly. Dogs are welcome. A wide array of 32 beers on tap.
BEER:
Legendary Lager (3.25) – Light bodied lager with minimal hop character. Highly drinkable, a sort of an upscale lawnmower beer.
Happy Amber (4.75) – 2018 GABF gold medal winner and is certainly deserving of the title. Malty and roasted character front and center. Hop bitterness is the star of the show, as appropriate. Tremendously balanced.
Phantom Forest Juicy Double IPA (4.50) – Ale bursting with flavor, loaded with malty goodness. Fruity notes abound. Hop bitterness evident, but definitely a secondary aspect of the flavor profile.
Ziegler Oktoberfest (3.50) – Malt sweetness evident. Overall, lighter bodied than a classic Märzen. Malty character more significant than hop bitterness, as appropriate.
Firefly Nightlight Citrus Wheat Beer (4.00) – Refreshing citrus flavors. Coriander character right upfront. A hugely drinkable beer.
Blood Orange Berliner Weisse (4.25) – Super tart, as per style, puckering unavoidable! Addition of blood orange provides beautiful balance.
Exsqueeze Me Tart Fruit Ale (4.50) – Grapefruit, lime, blood orange, sea salt result in an explosion of various flavors. Not too tart, not too sweet, not too much citrus; balance of flavors outstanding.
Sea Legs Strawberry Tart Ale (4.00) – Strawberry aspects dominate flavor profile. Citrus and tart components provide interesting balance. Extremely drinkable. 8.2% ABV hardly noticeable.
