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.
