Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
A beer bar with 16 taps of American craft beer from independent breweries and a 16-foot cooler holding 95+ bottles and cans. Ciders, seltzers, and gluten-free beer round out the selection, and takeaway options include crowlers, growler fills, and multi-pack deals. The owner-led tastings and community events show a serious beer focus, though the non-alcoholic side is limited to N/A beer and slushies.
- What should I order?
- Start with a pour from the 16 rotating American craft taps, then browse the 95+ bottles and cans in the cooler for something to take home. Ciders, seltzers, and gluten-free beer are also available.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer drinkers who value independent breweries, takeaway flexibility, and occasional brewer meet-and-greets or bottle shares. Non-beer drinkers will find N/A beer and slushies, but the program is beer-first.
- When should I go?
- For a personalized tasting, book a session led by the owner, who tailors the flight to your preferences. Otherwise, drop in during regular bar hours for a tap pour or to shop the cooler.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Prices are not specified in the available information. Expect standard craft beer bar pricing for on-premise pours, with takeaway options like crowlers, growler fills, and multi-pack deals.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 16-foot reach-in cooler with 95+ craft bottles and cans, plus crowler and growler fills, gives it a retail-meets-bar flexibility. The owner-led tastings and events like bottle shares and brewer meet-and-greets add an educational angle.
