How we score

The editorial take

Monkless is a brewery and brasserie that works almost entirely in Belgian-style ales, from a 4.8% SMaSH session ale to a 10% cherry-aged quadrupel. The Beer to Go program covers both bottles and cans, including a rotating Mixed 6PK that lets you compare three different Monkless beers side by side. Reviewer praise centers on flights of traditional Belgian-style beers, the selection's variety beyond IPAs, and fair pricing.

What should I order?: Start with a flight of traditional Belgian-style beers if you want to compare styles, then take home a bottle of Pour Pour Pitiful Me, the 10% quadrupel aged on cherries, or a $7.50 bottle of Dubbel or Nothing. The rotating Mixed 6PK is a straightforward way to try three different Monkless beers.
Who will enjoy this place?: Drinkers who want Belgian-style ales rather than a broad tap list, and anyone looking for bottles or cans to take away. The range from session ale to quadrupel means there is a reasonable option whether you want something light or something strong and malt-driven.
When should I go?: A flight is a sensible way to sample several Belgian-style ales in one visit. The Winter Quadrupel, Friar's Festivus, is a seasonal release and was listed out of stock, so availability of that beer may vary.
What should I expect to spend?: Bottled 500ml beers run $7.50 to $15.00. Canned 4-packs are $11.00 to $16.00, a single 19.2oz can is $4.00, and the rotating Mixed 6PK is $19.00. Reviewers note the pricing as reasonable for the selection.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: An exclusive focus on Belgian-style ales, with a stated patient and authentic approach to brewing. The Beer to Go section offers both bottles and cans, and the rotating Mixed 6PK packages three different Monkless beers for comparison.
