Breweries
Right across the street! Fun atmosphere, lots of outdoor seating. If you're into European beers, this is your spot (they do usually have a guest IPA on tap). Cool food menu (we have mixed experiences with the quality of the food). If you're a craft beer person and into cool swag, you've gotta try it.
