Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Southern Tier Brewery pours a 30-tap draft lineup across its own brews, Victory, Sixpoint, and Bold Rock, with a bartender-recommended raspberry beer that won over a customer. Cocktails and spirits come from sister distillery Southern Tier Distilling, and the wine list is described as diverse. Happy hour discounts drafts, wine, and liquor pours.
- What should I order?
- Ask the bartender for a surprise draft pick; one customer did and got a raspberry beer they called among the best in a long time. The 30-tap system also carries Southern Tier, Victory, Sixpoint, and Bold Rock, so the range supports exploring beyond the flagship lineup.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer drinkers will find the most to explore given the 30-tap rotation and the breweries represented. Cocktail fans can expect drinks built on spirits from the affiliated Southern Tier Distilling, and the full bar covers broader tastes.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings $2 off drafts, wine, and liquor pours, and Tuesday features $7 Margaritas, making those times economical for sampling the program.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Tuesday Margaritas run $7, and happy hour trims $2 off drafts, wine, and liquor pours. Friday discounts to-go beer by 20% and takes $3 off growlers and crowlers.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The draft system spans Southern Tier, Victory, Sixpoint, and Bold Rock across more than 30 taps, while cocktails and spirits draw from the affiliated Southern Tier Distilling, creating a brewery-distillery connection in one bar.
