The editorial take
Radiant Beer Co. Pairs a GABF Small Brewery of the Year pedigree with a taplist that roams from Czech-style amber lagers to 11.2% hazies. Barrel-aged releases lean on heirloom cacao and far-flung vanilla. Two Groundwork Wine Co. Collaborations—a Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc and an Arroyo Grande Grenache—add unfiltered, low-SO2 options to a beer-centric room.
- What should I order?
- Start with DDH So Into You, a double dry-hopped hazy IPA with Citra, Mosaic, and Cashmere. For something malt-forward, Polotmavý, a Czech-style amber lager. Try Futuristic Paradise for a juicy, high-ABV TIPA. Wine drinkers should seek the Groundwork Grenache.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Hop heads chasing award-winning hazies and West Coast IPAs. Barrel-aged fans interested in limited releases. Wine drinkers who appreciate unfiltered, low-intervention pours. Groups wanting variety across 20 taps, from sours to seltzers.
- When should I go?
- Afternoons on the heated patio or evenings in the Great Room lounge. The kitchen opens for lunch Wednesday through Sunday, making it a viable midday stop. Weekend visits may offer the fullest taplist rotation.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Beer prices are not listed publicly; expect standard craft brewery pricing. Merchandise runs $20–$45, suggesting tap prices align with typical craft beer costs.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 20-tap lineup that swings from a 4.1% Ordinary Bitter to an 11.2% TIPA, plus a barrel-aged program using ingredients like brûléed bananas and Bolivian cacao. Wine collaborations with Groundwork Wine Co. And a 5% ride-share discount add practical quirks.
