As a satellite taproom that will serve as a pilot brewery, visitors to this location will have the opportunity to enjoy many of Starr Hill Brewery’s popular flagship brews in addition to trying new, small-batch, experimental beers that are brewed onsite in the custom 5-barrel brewing system.
With 23 rotating taps, you’ll be able to order pints of Starr Hill classics like The Love, Jomo, and Northern Lights IPA, while also finding some new brews that will be made specially for this location.
Starr Hill Brewery offers a variety of kinds of beer, including IPAs, Lagers, Ales, and Stouts.
