What they should’ve called this place is Great Beer because it is AWESOME. The spot is on 9th St between Avenue A/1st Ave – it’s a few steps down from the sidewalk so keep your eyes peeled! When you walk in, you’re met with walls covered floor to ceiling in beers, exposed brick and a butcher’s block bar to hang around. Everything about this place is inviting including the peeps who work here – they’re friendly + knowledgeable. Buy a Growler and fill it up there or choose from the 100s of loose and packaged bottles for sale there.
As much as Good Beer is a beer retailer, it’s also a great local hang. They always have 12 different beers on tap – the 4/4oz beer flight for $8 is a great bang for your buck. My FAVE? The Arrogant Bastard which was a darker beer but not too heavy. As far as eats go, the food was the biggest surprise of the evening – I had the Vegan Spicy Italian Sausage over warmed sauerkraut and it was possibly the best faux-meat I’ve ever had – it was fennel and spicy pepper heaven. The food items also included pretzels and real meat sausages, cheese and meat plates – all were priced to keep me coming back for more.
I highly recommend you check this place out. It’s good for a group, a date or just stopping in to pick up beer for your next soiree. It’s multi-purpose-awesomeness.
