Order up a flight of unique microbrews or cider offerings to experience each distinctive pour. Friendly, educated tasting staff are always on hand to talk brewing, aging, and production. Learn about the barrel the beer was aged in or the apple variety the hard cider was brewed from. Don’t forget to grab a bottle or growler for the next leg of your adventure.
