The editorial take
Ale House runs a serious beer operation: 48 taps with 41 beers currently listed, 90+ rotating varieties, and a draft selection that reaches regional brewers, German imports, and West Virginia breweries. Cocktails are built in house, with seven signatures and four on half-price happy hour. Wine is deliberately short, poured by the glass or bottle. Order from the taps.
- What should I order?
- Start with a West Virginia pour from Stumptown Ales or Bridge Brew Works; Snott Otter, Mountain Momma, and Holy Citra! All appear on the draft list. If you want a cocktail instead, the Gold Margarita and the Porch Punch are among the seven house signatures.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a deep, rotating draft list with regional and West Virginia options, plus guests who want a straightforward cocktail or a glass of wine alongside them.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the value window for cocktails, when four named drinks are half price. The draft list is updated through the day, so the tap selection can shift between visits.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draft prices range from $5 / $8 to $9 / $12 depending on the beer, with some 16oz single-size pours at $6. The 10oz tulip lets you compare across the list without committing to a full pint.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The scale of the draft program separates it: 48 taps, 41 beers currently listed, and 90+ rotating varieties, with regional brewers, German imports, and West Virginia breweries all represented.
