The editorial take
A downtown restaurant and taproom built around 18 taps pouring beer, wine, and hard kombucha, with 5oz, 10oz, and 16oz pours and 4-packs to take home. The beer range runs from Mexican lager and German pilsner to West Coast and hazy IPAs, pale ale, fruited sour, and Keller pilsner. Wine is a tidy seven-bottle list plus Prosecco, and non-alcoholic drinkers get a rotating Best Day Brewing option and bottled soft drinks.
- What should I order?
- Start with a 5oz pour of Treevana, the West Coast IPA built on Mosaic and Amarillo, or Clever Kiwi, the Nelson dry-hopped unfiltered Keller pilsner. For something lighter, Invita Mexican lager or Pistil German pilsner. Wine drinkers can take the Robert Renzoni Pinot Grigio by the glass or the La Marca Prosecco in its 187ml bottle.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a wide style spread and the choice of a small taste or a full 16oz pour, plus anyone taking 4-packs home. Wine drinkers are covered by a short but complete list, and non-alcoholic drinkers have a rotating Best Day Brewing option alongside bottled soft drinks.
- When should I go?
- A useful stop for a beer flight built from 5oz pours when you want to compare styles side by side, or for a single 16oz pour of a favorite. The dog-friendly patio and takeout beer make it work for grabbing 4-packs to go.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Tap pours run $4–$4.50 for 5oz, $6.50–$7 for 10oz, and $8–$9 for 16oz. Wine by the glass is $13–$15, bottles $50–$55. Non-alcoholic bottles are $4 each, and 4-packs to go range $13.20–$23.20.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Eighteen taps spanning Mexican lager, West Coast and hazy IPAs, pale ale, fruited sour, XPA, German pilsner, amber ale, and Keller pilsner, poured in three sizes and sold in 4-packs. The wine list stays compact at seven wines plus Prosecco, and the taproom also pours hard kombucha.
