Midland Beer Garden


A constantly rotating selection of over 50 domestic, craft and imported beers on tap would be draw enough, but this place ups the ante with its great indoor-outdoor atmosphere of tents, gardens and beer halls. There is excellent food (the kitchen closes one hour before the bar). Brats, burgers and some really sinful jalapeño poppers are among the delights.
