Draft prices range from $5 for a 12oz Lü kölsch to $12 for a 9oz Between the Devil & the Deep. To-go options include single 4-packs, mixed barrel-aged 4-packs, and large bundle specials. Service is bar service only, with guests permitted to order two drinks at a time.

For a richer pour, Between the Devil & the Deep is a bourbon barrel-aged stout with vanilla, blended bourbon and rye whiskey barrel-aged stouts at 13.666%, served as a 9oz pour for $12.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who value range will find lagers, kölsch, pale ales, IPAs, hazy IPAs, sour, stout, and barrel-aged options on the same menu. The five-ounce pours suit those who want to compare several beers without committing to full servings. To-go 4-packs and barrel-aged mixed packages appeal to anyone building a selection to take home.
- When should I go?
- The taproom operates with bar service only, and guests are permitted to order two drinks at a time. Five-ounce pours make an afternoon or early-evening visit workable for sampling across the draft range. To-go 4-packs and the Barrel-Aged Mixed 4pk are available for bringing the program home.

- The barrel program sets this taproom apart: Hell's Reflection is a double oak-aged Mexican lager aged six weeks in oak foeder then nine weeks in Malort barrels, while Between the Devil & the Deep blends bourbon and rye whiskey barrel-aged stouts with vanilla. The menu also carries a foeder Mexican lager with lime and flaked corn, and a fruited sour ale collaboration with Bang Bang Pie and Biscuits.
