The editorial take
North End Taproom pours 31 beers and a handful of wines through a 40-tap self-pour wall. The format rewards curiosity: you can sample Imperial Biscotti Break by the ounce or work through several IPAs without committing to a pint. Prices run from $0.47 to $3.05 per ounce, with heavy hitters like Fundamental Observation at the top. A recent customer praised the IPAs they sampled.
- What should I order?
- Start with a pour of Boss Tweed, a hazy double IPA from Old Nation, at $0.69 an ounce. For something darker, Imperial Biscotti Break from Evil Twin delivers coffee and 11.5% ABV at $1.21 an ounce. Both are available on the self-pour wall, so you can try a small taste first.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Beers range from $0.47 to $3.05 per ounce, so a typical 12-ounce pour could cost between roughly $5.64 and $36.60, depending on the selection. The self-pour format makes it easy to control spending by pouring smaller amounts.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The 40-tap self-pour system puts you in control of pour size and pace, with craft beer, cider, seltzer, and wine all at the same wall. The tap list rotates frequently, and current offerings include six featured beers from breweries like Evil Twin, Old Nation, and Bottle Logic.
