It's a mostly sour beer brewery. If you love sours, this is a must-see. And if you don't particularly care for sours, they have a few other varietals and if you talk to the bartenders you'll be pleasantly surprised to find yourself enjoying the less intense sours that wake up your palate. And they serve pizza!

I'm not sure who the owner murdered to source such amazing cheeses and meats and chocolate and other sundries but all of her stuff is amazing. I've never had Taleggio that tastes anywhere near as good as hers... So good and reasonable prices.
