How it sits with the food

The brewery's full-service restaurant and tap room suggest food is available, but no specific pairing details were found. The sour and gose could complement lighter fare, while the imperial milk stout might stand up to richer dishes.

Inebrious does not score kitchens, food or the restaurant overall. We review the beverage program only.
