Pouring only grains and grapes, our hunky brewsters can direct your taste buds to any one of HBC’s own nine micro-brews, or 16 all local guest taps whose own breweries have each defined the taste of their neighborhoods.

It’s welcoming atmosphere designed to engage and stimulate interaction between guests and our brew master with a hands-on operation to maximize consistency, taste and amazingly well balanced microbrews. Open noon on weekends, 4pm weekdays, our restaurant closes at 11pm nightly, with our tap house closing at midnight.
