The restaurant encompasses more than 23,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor dining and bars, as well as a bocce ball court, outdoor cinema space and an 11,315-square-foot garden.

Poured up on tap at the Library Station brewpub where it exhibits a clear amber colored body that supports a bright white sort of dirty white head. The aroma offers up roasted malts and sweet malts that gets both roasty and earthy toward the end of the draw. The taste is full and rich with pleasing dark roasted coffee supported by sweet malts. To midway it picks up earthy coffee notes as the dark roasted coffee influence works its way forward.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is somewhat hoppy - suspect citrus. Near med body. Flavor is very nice - fruity hop forward, very lightly bread. It’s a tasty, fairly hoppy thing. Not NW, but very nice and decently bitter. Reminds of Sudwerk Hoppy lager - well, not really - though it came to mind.

Poured up on tap at Stone Liberty Station where it exhibits a crystal clear copper body that has thick gold edges and supports a thin bright white head. The aroma offers up loads of Cantaloupe, pink grapefruit and mango yum where there’s a thin ring of spicy dank hoppiness at the edge of the experience. The taste starts with pineapple and mango where a bitter pink grapefruit note rising up to midway. It then gets grassy and herbal and then spicy with garlic like dankness. It dries out into the finish. I love the tropical fruit juiciness and bitter citrus hop play going on here. Solid.
