Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Old Stove Brewing Co. Pairs a serious house-brewed beer list with a playful cocktail program. Try the Timeless Lager for a clean baseline or the Orange Dream Machine for a creamy citrus cocktail. Award-winning barrel-aged beers and a wide nonalcoholic selection broaden the appeal, though the brews remain the core draw.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Timeless Lager, a clean American lager that shows the house style, then consider the Two Prong Crown IPA for hop presence. For a cocktail, the Orange Dream Machine—vodka, OJ, lemon, and vanilla—offers a dessert-like counterpoint.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer enthusiasts will appreciate the range of house-brewed styles, from pilsner to barrel-aged stouts. Cocktail drinkers and those avoiding alcohol also have clear options, making it a flexible stop for groups with varied tastes.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draft beers are mostly $8.25; cocktails range from $11 to $13; wine by the glass runs $12 to $15. Nonalcoholic drinks start as low as $2 for La Croix, with mocktails at $9.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- It is both a working brewery and a full bar, with beer brewed onsite and a cocktail list that includes boilermakers and slushies. The US Open Beer Championship medal for BA Castaway adds pedigree.
