Atmosphere: German-style brews & BBQ from food truck served in outdoor beer garden & at bar with vintage stools. Denizens believes everyone has a right to fresh, local craft beer. They believe every brewery should be a gathering place for the community. There’s no craft beer type; craft beer belongs to everyone. They’ll always be innovating for the uninhibited denizens of the world.
What we loved:
BEER: There are five flagship beers on draft, “Southside Rye IPA”, “Third Party Tripel”, “Lowest Lord ESB”, “Big Red Norm Red Ale” and “Born Bohemian pilsner” that we were able to taste. We also tried five of the seasonal beers, “Trainspotting Pale Ale”, “Blanc Yeah! Saison”. “Backyard Boogie Farmhouse Inspired Ale”. “Mildly Soba Brown Mild”. To see all the tasty beer options with much better descriptions from the experts themselves click here!!
Come in to try their first barrel-aged release, “backyard boogie,” a farmhouse inspired ale aged in chardonnay barrels along with some other tasty seasonal choices because their seasonal beers are always changing!!
Pro tip: They will soon be releasing a special brew to celebrate their anniversary called First Time, a Belgian dark rye ale. This beer will use bits of all of the flagship beers using the rye from Southside Rye IPA, yeast from the Third Party Belgian-style tripel, and malts from the Lowest Lord ESB, Big Red Norm Red Ale and Born Bohemian Czech-style pilsner. Also you can celebrate with them too!!
