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.

Tasting at Matt’s; labeled "August 2015"
Hazy blond color with medium sized compact head. Some coriander spiciness, a bit fruity, but also bubblegum; the mouthfeel is rather dry; the bitterness is quite low, but somehow in balance; it has some vegetables and chamomile, more evident in the final.
Not a memorable beer, but not too bad.
