Description
Burdock brewery set up shop in what used to be an old Portuguese chicken restaurant, and they transformed the space into an artist-driven bar/restaurant/music hall/microbrewery run by a group of musicians and music lovers. They offer a rotating list of clean pale ales, complex saisons, crisp pilsners, zippy sours, and beer-wine hybrids that are all brewed in house.

Great citrus notes, light tropical fruit. Cereals are soft but balanced, low bitterness, mouth feel light. Brighter version of a normal ipa, also lighter, and extremely drinkable.
