They had 12 signature beers, plus five premium offerings on tap. They suggest four different flight packages, but you can also make your own. Below are a few that we sampled.
BEER:
Urban Tumbleweed Hefeweizen -3.00
Light-bodied refreshing wheat beer; needs more malt
Brewdacious Blonde Ale -2.75
Tasty, neutral blonde ale; low hop bitterness
Goldilocks Golden Saison -3.75
Solid example of style; a touch of sourness in the finish
Stolp Island Wheat APA -3.75
Tasty, well-balanced IPA; hop bitterness not overwhelming
Gesellschaft Bier Marzen -2.25
Somewhat thin-bodied for style; lacking bold malt sweetness
2nd Esteem Dark Common -2.00
Strange, inappropriate smoky flavor; significant departure from style; tastes more like a Stout than a Common
