The editorial take
A brewery running a 15-barrel brewhouse with a tap list that swings from West Coast IPA to imperial stout. Flagship Devil’s Alley IPA and Surrender RyePA anchor a rotating lineup that also reaches into lagers, saisons, and a hard seltzer. Community reviewers praise the variety and knowledgeable staff, though pricing remains undisclosed.
- What should I order?
- Start with Surrender RyePA for its rye character, then move to Devil’s Alley IPA if you want a classic West Coast hop profile. For something darker, This is the Ordway Imperial Stout delivers bourbon notes at 10% ABV. If you prefer lighter, Paint Branch Pilsner is crisp and sessionable.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts who appreciate a wide range of styles, from hop-forward IPAs to malt-forward lagers and experimental stouts. The taproom's relaxed, welcoming atmosphere suits both casual drinkers and those seeking a rotating selection of craft brews.
- When should I go?
- Evenings and weekends are likely best for the full taproom experience, with live music showcases and community events like Plant Bingo adding to the draw. The rotating tap list means repeat visits offer something new.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Without confirmed prices, we cannot provide a specific range.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The brewery's 15-barrel brewhouse and focus on balanced malt and hops set a solid foundation, but it's the variety—from a jasmine rice lager to a bourbon-barrel-aged imperial stout—that makes it stand out. The ability to bring your own food and the regular events add a community-focused dimension not always found in taprooms.

How it sits with the food
Guests are allowed to bring their own food, and the taproom hosts a food truck schedule. The hoppy IPAs pair well with spicy or grilled dishes, while the malty Redland Lager complements burgers and barbecue. The imperial stout would suit rich desserts or strong cheeses, though no food menu is offered on-site.
