The variety of craft beers available to taste at this wee brewery never wanes. Stop in to fill a rigger (flagon) to take away, or sup an ale alongside a tasty woodfired pizza in the cosy bar (pizzas $16 to $22). Our favourite brew is the Wolf of Washington American Pale Ale and there's always interesting seasonal beers on offer.
