Signature Beer: Cleopatra IPA with New Zealand Hops, still early though

Five-second Description:  Fantastic high-quality beer, a very refined interior, and a lovely outdoor space.  They use ancient people as the names for all their beers which can be a bit confusing.  Love their branding, but again the beer names throw me.  If you want to stop at a great unique vineyard close by I recommend Rosabianca Vineyards.

Why you should go: They have very high-quality beer and it is not just IPAs.  Very crowd-pleasing beer selection.  Great space with some really cool decorations.

Food: They often have food trucks, check their website.
