    I am not the biggest fan of beer, but all the ones I tasted were very enjoyable! I got a "mixtape beer flight" and chose "follow the sun", "windansea wheat", "house blonde", and "red trolley". All except the last one was very light and refreshing; "red trolley" was darker and a bit more bitter. The vibes inside were nice and chill, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Service was quick and efficient as well. We ordered 3 items to share: duck fat pretzel bites ($13.50), sweet chili garlic wings ($15.50), and beer sausages ($17.50). The pretzel bites were phenomenal--lightly crunchy on the outside and soft and airy on the inside--and went perfectly with the truffle dip. I 100% would get this again. I did not realize that the wings would be boneless; I am more of a bone-in fan, but they were moist and well-flavored. This dish was not bad but just paled in comparison to the other two. The beer sausages were great--savory, well-made, and went well with the spicy honey-sriracha mustard--and I really enjoyed the sweet potato fries, grilled zucchini, and pickled onions. The food was kind of pricy in my opinion, so I'd probably go back during happy hours (: The staff told me that all of the dishes we got are half-off then.
