About 30 brews available in different styles. Kitchen with burgers, wings, tacos, and snacks. Beers available in 4-ounce, 10-ounce, and 16-ounce glasses, making experimentation and responsibility easy. Friendly, helpful staff.
-- State Machine: Crisp, potent, and slightly citrusy, it's an IPA worthy of acclaim.
-- Multi-Agent Citra: All kinds of Citra hops here, but light in color and flavor even at over 7% abv. Good palate cleanser.
-- Buffalo Wings: Slightly crisp, slightly moist, and lightly covered with a mild and tangy take on Buffalo. Good blue cheese to add a little more body. Not particularly spicy, but very doable.
-- Kale Caesar Salad: It looks a little like airline food with the tiny low end croutons, but this was a top notch salad with fresh tasting vegetation and a zesty, creamy dressing, elevated by generous sprinklings of Parmesan. Tasty stuff and a surprisingly good foil for beer.
-- Vegan Chorizo Tacos: You get three to an order, so I was sure I'd wind up tasting one for assessment when my wife got full after two. But she finished the tray, so they must have done something right. Served with lime, and a couple of basic (red and green) hot sauce additions at the silverware station.
Good beer, good enough food, and exceptionally good atmosphere and staff make this a relaxing hang and a perfect oasis for husbands who don't want to endure nearby Costco.
