Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Lengthwise is a brewpub pouring a rotating lineup of house beers, from heavily dry-hopped double IPAs to a coffee stout made with beans roasted on-site. Sampler flights make the range approachable, and a house-made draft root beer floats the non-drinkers. The beer program carries the venue.
- What should I order?
- Start with a sampler flight to map the rotating house taps, then commit to the Widthwise Ale Double IPA for its intense dry hopping and tropical fruit overtones.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- People who appreciate a brewery with a broad house lineup and a serious hop focus will find plenty to explore. The draft root beer also gives designated drivers a non-alcoholic option beyond standard sodas.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Lengthwise roasts its own coffee beans on-site and channels them into a stout, giving the beer program a self-contained loop from roaster to tap. The house-made draft root beer extends that same house-made ethos beyond alcohol.
Beverage categories
We only score what a venue sets out to do. Categories a venue doesn't attempt are left unscored rather than penalized.
Beer
A wide, rotating house-brewed list spans double IPAs, stouts, lagers, and seasonal experiments, with a sampler option for tasting across the range. The lineup leans heavily on hops but includes a coffee stout grounded in beans roasted on-site.
Menu strengths

- — House-made draft root beer is a distinctive non-alcoholic option.
- — The Root Beer Float format turns the root beer into a treat rather than a substitute.
