Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Miel Brewery & Taproom runs a house-brewed beer program that moves from a dry-hopped Italian pilsner and an American kolsch to a dark English porter and a brut sour blended with pomegranate and passionfruit. Draft-only pours like Miel Especial and Frutsecco sit alongside 4-pack options such as Cara Mia, Golden Boi, and Just A Bit More, the pickle sour blended with roasted habanero peppers. The taproom also pours house hard seltzer in slushees and mixed drinks, and keeps a separate nonalcoholic list with a frozen zero-proof lemonade slushee and Athletic Golden Dawn.
- What should I order?
- Start with Cara Mia, the Italian-style pilsner dry-hopped with Mittelfruh, or KÖLSCH TO KÖLSCH if you want a lighter ale. For something with more edge, order Just A Bit More, the pickle sour blended with roasted habanero peppers, or the draft-only Frutsecco, a brut sour with pomegranate and passionfruit.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a range of house-brewed styles rather than a single flagship will find pilsner, kolsch, porter, sour, pale ale, and IPA on the menu. The pickle sours and draft-only pours suit anyone who prefers to try something specific to the brewery.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The lineup is brewed in-house and stretches across pilsner, kolsch, lager, porter, sour, pale ale, and IPA styles. Draft-only beers like Miel Especial, Rauchbier, Semantics, and Frutsecco sit beside 4-pack options, and the pickle sours Just Enough and Just A Bit More add a habanero-blended outlier. House hard seltzer feeds the slushees and mixed drinks.
