The editorial take
Little Cottage Brewery runs a taproom where the draft list spans lagers, kölsch, ESB, hefeweizen, porter, West Coast IPA, and a DIPA, alongside a hard seltzer and canned pale ale. The brewery is known for small-batch beers and barrel-aged brews, with a rotating barrel-aged selection when available. The heavy metal theme shows in beer names and the menu page title. Two house cocktails and a small NA section round out the beverage program.
- What should I order?
- Start with Death Bringer, a West Coast IPA with Enigma, Citra, and Simcoe at 7.2%, or Balthazar, a 4.5% kölsch. If barrel-aged options are pouring, try one. For something different, Me & My Raygun is a 3.5% gose with pineapple, raspberry, and cherry.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a range of styles from lager and kölsch to IPA and barrel-aged stouts, and anyone curious about a heavy metal-themed taproom. The NA and cocktail options give non-beer drinkers something to order.
