How we score

The editorial take

Pour Taproom runs on a wristband-linked self-pour system with over 60 taps pouring beer, wine, and cider by the ounce. You are charged only for what you pour, which makes sampling across styles easy. Guests consistently praise the varied beer selection—ciders, lagers, IPAs, and a New England IPA—served cold. Wine is available alongside beer in the same tap system. Express checkout card charges add a 20% gratuity.

What should I order?
Start with the New England IPA, a guest-praised pour from the self-pour taps. Use the wristband to sample across ciders, lagers, and other IPAs by the ounce before committing to a full pour.
Who will enjoy this place?
Groups and solo drinkers who want to control their own pours and sample widely without committing to a full glass. The wristband system suits anyone who prefers to move at their own pace and pay only for what they drink.
When should I go?
Anytime you want a flexible, self-directed drinking session. The by-the-ounce model works well for casual visits when you want to try several small pours rather than settle on one full drink.
What should I expect to spend?
Pricing is by the ounce, so your tab reflects exactly how much you pour. A 20% gratuity is added on express checkout card charges. The sample-size format lets you control cost by adjusting pour volume.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The self-pour taproom model: a wristband linked to payment lets you pour your own beer, wine, or cider by the ounce from over 60 taps. You are charged only for the amount poured, and the system covers beer, wine, and cider in one format.
