The editorial take
SpindleTap Brewery pours a rotating lineup that leans heavily on hops—hazy, double, and West Coast—plus a crisp Czech-style lager. The core six beers are year-round, with seasonal releases rotating through. There's also a fringe of THC-infused mocktails, which sets this taproom apart from standard craft-beer fare. For hop heads, it's a reliable stop; for the sober-curious, it's something else entirely.
- What should I order?
- Start with Hop Gusher if you want a classic West Coast bite, or Heavy Hands for a Citra-forward hazy double. Haze and Hustle cover the juicy spectrum. Calavera 2.0 or Local Lager when you want something lighter. For non-alcoholic, try a THC-infused Ranch Water or Mai Tai.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer enthusiasts who appreciate a range of IPAs, from crisp West Coast to hazy and double. Also those curious about THC-infused non-alcoholic drinks. The spacious taproom and outdoor areas make it a comfortable hangout for groups.
- When should I go?
- Evenings or weekends when the taproom is lively. The rotating tap list means there's often something new to try, so repeat visits are rewarded. Outdoor seating is a plus in the milder months.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A beer list that pairs a solid core of IPAs with a Czech pilsner, plus a side program of THC-infused mocktails. The brewery's Untappd presence and local reputation suggest an engaged following. It's a place where the beer is serious, but the non-alcoholic options aren't an afterthought.

How it sits with the food
No food program evidence; focus on the beer. The hoppy IPAs would pair with spicy or grilled foods, while the lagers are classic with tacos or burgers. The THC-infused mocktails offer an alternative for those not drinking alcohol.
