The editorial take
Thyme Kitchen and Craft Beer puts its beverage weight behind the draft system: forty craft beers on rotating taps, with a board that ranges from Chimay Tripel to Green Flash West Coast IPA and a Russian Imperial Stout. The bar also stocks more than 250 bourbons, including small-batch bottlings, and the cocktail list is built by a dedicated mixology team. An extensive international wine list covers the table. The beer is the reason to settle in.
- What should I order?
- Start with a pour from the rotating draft board. If you want a spirit instead, ask about the small-batch bourbons. For a mixed drink, the hand crafted cocktails come from the mixology team.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a rotating tap list with recognizable breweries and a range of styles, from pale ale to imperial stout. Bourbon drinkers will find more than 250 labels. Groups that want an international wine list alongside the drafts are also covered.
- When should I go?
- A good stop for a draft-focused round when you want to compare styles from the rotating board, or for a bourbon pour later in the evening when the bar is the main draw.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of forty rotating craft taps and more than 250 bourbons is the defining feature. The draft board names specific breweries and beers, including Chimay Tripel and Green Flash West Coast IPA, while the bourbon list reaches into small-batch territory. Few restaurant bars carry both at that scale.
