From the record

Summary

An experimental, small-batch brewery constantly rotating taps with aggressive hazy IPAs, unique sours, and locally influenced adjunct stouts. Focuses on small-batch and experimental brewing.

Tally’s Take

A constantly rotating tap list is a promise to keep working. It is also the hardest possible way to run a brewery.
