Drinks & Nightlife
Delicious, large selection of their beer, including seasonal varieties and a daily cask in a large warehouse, with a smaller back room with a stage and an outdoor patio. Best beer in town, but we are also partial because the owners are former co-workers of ours. You can also get kombucha, wine, board games, and snacks from their bar, and Silo Food truck is on-site and will deliver to your table (but independent from the brewery). Kids are welcome until 7:30 pm.
