They have beers from all around the country, as well as a number of vintage beers, specialty picks, and even a Bloody Beer, a Bloody Mary made with beer instead of vodka. If you’re not particularly in the mood for a beer, or just want to change it up after a few brews, they have a fine wine list featuring nice reds, whites, ports, even sake.
