The editorial take
Joymongers runs a brewery that doesn't stop at beer. Craft cocktails on tap pair tequila and bourbon with fresh citrus and house lemonade, while a rotating house-brewed list covers IPAs, lagers, stouts, and sours. A wine list stretches from Prosecco to Cabernet for the beer-averse. The taproom's non-alcoholic options include NA beer and THC sparkling waters.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Brux IPA, a hazy New England style at 7.2% ABV, for a hoppy punch. For something tart, the Juice Box fruited sour with mango, passion fruit, and guava is a refreshing counterpoint. If cocktails are more your speed, the Large Marge on tap delivers tequila and fresh lime with a salted rim.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts will appreciate the rotating house-brewed styles, from the Dad Hat lager to the Oatmeal Stout. Cocktail lovers can explore the tap cocktails, and wine drinkers have a full varietal list to choose from. Non-alcoholic drinkers have options like Stella Artois Non-Alcoholic and THC sparkling waters.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The taproom merges a brewery's fresh beer selection with craft cocktails on tap and a full wine list, offering a rare trifecta. The cocktail program stands out with drinks like the Bourbon Lemonade and the salted-rim Large Marge, both served on tap.
