The editorial take
Tørst is a bar built around 21 rotating draft lines and more than 200 bottled and canned beers, with named producers like Hill Farmstead, Suarez Family, and Schilling.

Happy hour covers cocktails, wine bottles, and marked cans.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Hill Farmstead pour from the rotating draft list, such as Arthur or Harlan, or a Suarez Family Qualify Pils.
