Favorite Breweries
North Park Beer Company
3038 University AveLocal classic
Modern Times Flavordome
3000 Upas StSome of the best barrel aged stouts around
Favorite brewery in town, especially if you want to try stuff other than IPAs. The tap room up north looks like a bit of a drive but it's easy from I15, and once you're up there you can check out Alesmith and a few others in that area.
