The editorial take
G Pub's beverage program spans inventive signature cocktails, a deep regional draft list, and a serious non-alcoholic menu.

How it sits with the food
The kitchen uses beer in dishes like High Limb Cider-brined chicken and battered fish, so a local cider or lager complements the menu. Steak tips reportedly pair well with a pint.
