Comments

Excellent selection of beers from around the world, including some fine Belgian and German beers. Unfortunately, the less popular of these have been sitting around for far too long and may be stale.
Lack of draught products is a serious drawback.
Monthly beer tastings, hosted by local beer celeb Bob Tupper, are usually quite nice. Call the Brick for details.
