Founder Mike Wright’s brewery, launched in his garage a few years back, has gone gangbusters, but in a wonderfully low-key way. Visitors mingle among shiny tanks and French oak barrels with tasters or full glasses of beer, while hip hop plays on the hi-fi. Brewmaster Sean Burke studied in Germany, so don’t miss his pilsners and other Bavarian offerings.

ProTip
Ask about stashed-away bottles like Bier Royale and Myrtle, two mouth-watering sours that sometimes bubble to the surface. Don’t tell them we told you.
