The editorial take
More Brewing’s taproom pours a serious craft lineup, from hop-saturated hazies like Wendigo to the Henna pastry stout series. The beer locator tool and multiple brewpub locations underscore a regional presence. Cocktails get positive guest mentions for strength and value, though the beer program clearly leads. Expect a rotating roster of collaborations and barrel-aged specialties.
- What should I order?
- Start with Golden Hour, a West Coast pilsner hopped with Riwaka and Motueka for a crisp, aromatic counterpoint. For depth, Henna: Pistachio Macaroon delivers pastry stout richness with pistachios, cocoa nibs, and coconut. IPA fans should seek Wendigo, a thiolized hazy DIPA with Citra, Chinook, Mosaic, and Nelson.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Hop heads will find plenty of hazy and triple IPAs, while stout enthusiasts can explore the Henna series. The gluten-free sour Snack Time and Belgian quadrupel offer range for curious drinkers. Those who appreciate a well-rounded tap list with seasonal rotations will feel at home.
- When should I go?
- Evenings and weekends are likely busy; weekdays may offer a more relaxed pace. The taproom suits both casual after-work drinks and dedicated craft beer exploration.
- What should I expect to spend?
- No pricing information available, but community reviewers describe cocktails as reasonably priced. Beers are likely typical for a brewpub, though exact figures are unverified.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A beer locator tool on the website helps fans find More brews beyond the taproom, and collaborations with Sundial Brewing and Maplewood Brewing and Distillery add variety. The Meuse Valley Special Reserve, aged 25 months in Applejack barrels, exemplifies the ambition of the barrel program.
