The editorial take
Railtown Brewing Company runs an 18-tap house-brewed operation with a rotating lineup that spans West Coast and New England IPAs, a milk stout, a New Zealand pilsner, and a blonde ale. Beer is also used in some food recipes. Non-alcoholic options are generic but present.
- What should I order?
- Start with MIchinooky, the featured 6% West Coast IPA with pine resin, lemongrass, and melon, or Citra Warrior if you want a bigger 9.2% imperial IPA with citrus and honey. For something lighter, Panther Pale Ale or Bike Ride Blonde offer crisp, approachable profiles.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who appreciate a rotating, house-made tap list with clear style variety. IPA fans have multiple options, and those who enjoy malt-forward pours can find a milk stout and a blonde. Community reviewers note a nice variety of beers and ciders, so there is likely something for most tastes.
- When should I go?
- Go when the current tap list is fresh; it is updated regularly, so there is often something new to try. The beer page is a useful pre-visit check.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pricing is not listed on the tap menu, but online ordering shows a wide range: Bike Ride Blonde and Good Mooed are $2.89-$17.09, and Citra Warrior is $12.09-$22.09. Non-alcoholic options run $0.00-$5.00, and kids' beverages are $0.99-$2.50.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A dedicated on-site brewing operation with a named head brewer and brewer, and an 18-tap list that changes with the seasons. The beer menu lists tasting notes for every pour, and beer even appears in some food recipes. Community drinkers call out the saison and wheat beers as standouts.
