Its 18 taps pour small-batch brews such as sours with flavors like blackberry and tropical fruits, the Almond Joy porter, and Coconut Cream ale, with each sounding – and tasting – more delicious than the last. Customers can opt for full pours, half pours, flights, or growlers. The owners, husband and wife team Chris and Beth, are wonderfully friendly, adding to the brewery's charm."
