The editorial take
Relentless Brewing Company is a small family brewery in the industrial part of and its beverage program reaches well beyond beer. Ten house beers cover lagers, pilsners, IPAs, amber lager, sour, and seltzer, with ABV and pricing on the tap list. The cocktail menu lists thirteen drinks—seven original, six classics—spanning whiskey, gin, rum, tequila, mezcal, rye, pisco, and sake. Wine runs to ten bottles and glasses, including natural and on-tap options, and four zero-proof cocktails use Ritual and Seedlip. Happy hour pricing applies across beer, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks.
- What should I order?
- Start with a house beer: Neko Japanese Lager at 4.4% or Contemplation West Coast Pilsner with Mosaic Incognito, Simcoe, Cascade, and Mosaic hops. For a mixed drink, the Matcha Buzz combines Hatozaki whiskey, honey, condensed milk, matcha, and strawberry cream. Non-drinkers can order the Bouquet with Ritual Gin, strawberry basil shrub, lemon, and soda.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a range from light lager to hazy IPA and sour will find ten house options here. Cocktail drinkers get a list that spans whiskey, gin, rum, tequila, mezcal, rye, pisco, and sake. Anyone avoiding alcohol has four zero-proof cocktails using Ritual and Seedlip.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is the obvious window: $6 Relentless draught beers, $8 wine, $12 cocktails, and $8 non-alcoholic cocktails. The Ride or Die Beer Club offers crowlers to go and group options, so a visit can double as a takeaway stop. The taproom sits in the industrial area, which suits a straightforward drinking session rather than a scenic one.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draught beers run $6 to $8 per pour, with pitchers of select Relentless beers at $22 during happy hour. Wine by the glass is $13 to $17 and bottles are $35 to $38, with happy hour wine at $8. Cocktails are $14 to $18, or $12 at happy hour. Non-alcoholic cocktails are $12 to $13, or $8 at happy hour.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A small family brewery that also runs a thirteen-drink cocktail list, a ten-wine list with natural and on-tap options, and four zero-proof cocktails is doing more than most taprooms. The beer side names hops and ABVs; the cocktail side names bases from whiskey to sake. That combination of house beer and broad mixed-drink coverage is the defining feature.
