The editorial take
The beer program is the reason to pay attention here. A Beer Club ties together quarterly kits of four beers, a monthly draft sampler in the restaurant, and draft upgrades from 16oz to 22oz. Release No. 31, 'Pint State University,' names Super Senior India Pale Ale, Advanced Fermentation American Wheat Ale, Pregame Warmup, and Twisted Society Brown Ale. Huckleberry Haze IPA is a featured pour. Cocktails lean on a smoked Old Fashioned and seasonal recipe content, with a Patrón Paloma and Bloody Mary earning guest praise. Handcrafted non-alcoholic beverages round out the list.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Huckleberry Haze IPA, then work through the Release No. 31 set: Super Senior India Pale Ale, Advanced Fermentation American Wheat Ale, Pregame Warmup, and Twisted Society Brown Ale. For a cocktail, the Smoked Bacon Old Fashioned is the featured pour. A Patrón Paloma or Bloody Mary is the move if you want something mixed.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who like a structured club with named releases and a draft sampler will find the most here. Anyone ordering a mixed drink has a smoked Old Fashioned, a Paloma, and a Bloody Mary to choose from. Non-alcoholic drinkers get handcrafted options rather than a token soda.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is the value window, with food and drinks starting at only $4. The Beer Club's monthly draft sampler is an in-restaurant perk, so a visit timed to that sampler makes sense for members.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy Hour food and drinks start at only $4. Beer Club membership includes a $39 credit toward the first kit, and membership adds 10% off takeout and delivery plus priority seating. Draft upgrades move a 16oz pour to 22oz.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The Beer Club is the differentiator: quarterly kits of four beers from breweries across the country, a monthly draft sampler in the restaurant, draft upgrades, and past releases with names like 'Pint State University,' 'Brewchella,' and 'Ain't Our First Rodeo.' The smoked cocktail and handcrafted non-alcoholic list give non-beer drinkers something specific.
