The editorial take
Local Smokey leans on an extensive beer program: a long draft list, packaged cans and bottles, ciders and IPAs, plus pitchers and buckets. The beer club adds monthly reasons to return. Wine is basic but serviceable, and non-alcoholic drinkers get more than water. A sensible stop for beer drinkers who want variety without fuss.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Yee-Haw VOL Lager on draft to taste the local connection, or grab a pitcher of Miller Lite for the table. If you want variety, the rotating XULs and the beer club's monthly picks keep things changing.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who like choices—from macro lagers to local and regional IPAs and ciders—will find plenty. Groups can share pitchers or buckets, and the beer club suits regulars who want monthly specials.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beer club with monthly specials and rotating XUL drafts gives regulars a reason to return. The range of draft and packaged options, including local Yee-Haw and Gypsy Circus ciders, sets a broad table for beer exploration.
