My favorite local brewer hands down. Their flagship IPA is probably the best IPA I've ever had......in a city full of exceptional IPA's. This is their first and original location. It's small but you're going for the beer. Although, the food is very well done too. Order the "omnivore" mac 'n cheese, it's insane!
