The editorial take
Third Place is the public taproom for Half Full Brewery, pouring the brewery's award-winning draft beer after the original taproom closed to the public. The draft lineup covers sour, wheat, IPA, brown, blonde, and NEIPA styles, with named pours including Sour IPA, Prickly Pear Wheat, Pine Tree IPA, and Spiced Brown. An expanded outdoor beer garden adds a separate outdoor bar, a food truck, and viewing areas with TVs. Beer service runs on extended hours, with separate to-go hours for taking cans or growlers home.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Pine Tree IPA or the Prickly Pear Wheat, then use a flight to compare the Sour IPA and Spiced Brown against the rest of the draft range. The separate to-go hours make it easy to take beer home after a visit.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a working brewery's draft range rather than a full bar, and groups who plan to settle into the outdoor beer garden with a flight and a few pours while the food truck covers the meal.
- When should I go?
- During the extended beer service hours, and separately during the to-go hours if the goal is bringing beer home. The outdoor beer garden and its TVs suit an afternoon or early evening visit.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Third Place is now the public face of Half Full Brewery, serving the brewery's award-winning draft beer after the original taproom permanently closed. The expanded outdoor beer garden adds a second bar, a food truck, and TV viewing areas, and the schedule separates extended beer service from dedicated to-go hours.
