Five second Description: A very well appointed tasting room with unique clean brews.
Why you should go: A very nice tasting room that is splendidly clean. The beers are good and very unique and complex. Missing the outside space, but a good place to visit on a not so nice day or on the way to Rapscallion.

Five second Description: It is all about the beer and it is fantastic.
Why you should go: Great selection of great beer from a beer that tastes like “Thai Takeout” to several Juicy NE IPAs. The setting is in the back of a building and is barely big enough for the line to get your growler filled.

Signature Beer: Cafe Munich
Five second Description: Reasonable selection of German style beer in a bit of an odd setting.
Why you should go: Very friendly staff with a descent tasting room. The beer garden out back needs a lot more work to feel authentic, but you can sit outside
