How we score

The editorial take

Root Down Brewing runs a taproom with a large draft lineup and take-out in crowlers, cans, and kegs. BINE is a GABF Gold Award winning West Coast Style IPA built on Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, and Mosaic. Tusselwig brings English biscuit, baker's chocolate, walnuts, figs, and a light coffee-toffee close; Dance Baby, Do Acid: Volume 11 is a 5% ABV sour wheat ale with dark cherry puree, lime, and blood orange. Members Only, a 5.5% ABV West Coast Pale Ale, leans on grapefruit, pine, guava, tropical fruit, and floral hops. Staff pour samples and walk through styles.

What should I order?: Start with BINE, the GABF Gold Award winning West Coast Style IPA with Amarillo, Centennial, Citra, and Mosaic. Follow it with Tusselwig for the dark, malty side, or Dance Baby, Do Acid: Volume 11 if you want the sour wheat ale with dark cherry puree, lime, and blood orange.
Who will enjoy this place?: Hop-forward drinkers will find the most to work with in BINE and Members Only, while Tusselwig and Dance Baby, Do Acid: Volume 11 cover dark and sour directions. Staff provide samples and guidance on styles, which suits anyone sorting through the rotating lineup.
When should I go?: A taproom visit works for comparing the currently on draught lineup side by side, and take-out in crowlers, cans, and kegs covers the option of bringing beer home.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: BINE carries a GABF Gold Award, and the beer pages document specific styles, ingredients, and tasting notes rather than leaving the lineup as a list of names. The taproom also runs take-out in crowlers, cans, and kegs, plus a non-alcoholic section.
