The editorial take
TailGate Brewery Headquarters pours 30 draft lines of its own beer, from the gold-medal TailGate Orange to a Munich helles and a tropical IPA. Taproom-only series like Barrel Project and Wild Ales push beyond the core lineup, while house-made sweet tea and lemonade cover the non-beer set. A 15-barrel experimental system feeds the taps.
- What should I order?
- Start with TailGate Orange, the gold-medal American wheat ale. Then move to Lager Projekt for a clean Munich helles, or Wizards' Order IPA for tropical fruit hops. If you want something different, ask what's pouring from the Barrel Project or Wild Ales series.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts seeking a wide range of styles will find plenty, from lagers to wild ales. The taproom-only series appeal to those chasing rare pours. Non-beer drinkers can rely on house-made sweet tea, lemonade, and occasionally coffee or cider.
- When should I go?
- Any day the taproom is open, but the experimental series suggest periodic releases worth checking. The 7-acre campus with an outdoor bar and covered barn suits a casual afternoon visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pricing not documented in available sources; expect typical brewery taproom pricing for craft beer, but exact figures are unverified.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A 15-barrel experimental system and a 50-barrel production brewery on a 7-acre campus feed 30 draft lines. Taproom-only series like Lager Projekt, Barrel Project, SHNACK, and Wild Ales add rotating depth beyond the core lineup.

How it sits with the food
The full scratch pizza kitchen pairs naturally with the beer list. A Munich helles like Lager Projekt suits lighter pizzas, while the tropical IPA can stand up to richer toppings. TailGate Orange's wheat base and citrus notes could complement a classic margherita.
