How we score

The editorial take

Mad Duck Craft runs a brewpub with a dedicated beer page listing eight house beers, from a 4.5% Mexican lager to an 8.5% imperial IPA. The lineup covers blonde ale, IPA, pub ale, brown ale, hazy IPA, and more, with style and ABV noted for each. The Honey Pot Blonde is a 5% blonde with honey and stone fruit; the Citra is a dry-hopped IPA with tropical notes. Customers mention specific beers as easy-drinking and smooth, and one calls a blonde really good. This is a house-brewed range, not a guest-tap assortment.

What should I order?: Start with the Honey Pot Blonde, a 5% blonde ale with honey, stone fruit, and a little lemon zest. For something hoppier, the Citra is a 5.8% dry-hopped IPA with big tropical flavors, while the Octavian Imperial IPA is an 8.5% option with floral and grapefruit notes.
Who will enjoy this place?: Anyone who wants a house-brewed range in one place, from a clean 4.5% Mexican lager to a hazy IPA and an 8.5% imperial. The spread of styles gives drinkers a reason to compare rather than commit to one pour.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The Honey Pot Blonde and Citra are among the named house beers, and the brewpub operates multiple locations.
