The editorial take

Benny Boy Brewing operates as a brewery, tank bar, cider house, and backyard beer garden. The draft list spans crisp lagers to a 9.8% tripel, all naturally carbonated and unfiltered. Cider cocktails like the Moscow Mule and the barrel-aged Pippin Pommeau add a clever twist. Rotating natural wines and a non-alcoholic menu round out the program.

What should I order?
Start with the Lincoln Heights Lager or Heights Lite for a crisp, clean pour. For something more adventurous, the barrel-aged Pippin Pommeau Batch #3 offers depth. The Moscow Mule cider is a refreshing cocktail-inspired choice.
Who will enjoy this place?
Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the range from light lagers to a Belgian tripel, while cider fans can explore creative options. The non-alcoholic offerings and backyard setting make it accessible to a broad crowd.
When should I go?
The backyard beer garden and seasonal events like Oktoberfest and Applefest suggest a lively atmosphere for weekend afternoons or special gatherings.
What should I expect to spend?
Pricing not listed on the menu; expect typical brewery taproom range.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The combination of tank-poured beers and barrel-poured ciders under one roof, along with 100% whole flower hops and unfiltered, naturally carbonated brewing, sets it apart from conventional taprooms.
