A total of 10 taps will rotate and include brews from Slipstream, Revel and Your Mates Brewing. “We get to deliver a truly unique craft beer experience with self-pour beer taps, allowing our bartenders to interact closely with patrons and share their love of craft beer before diners take over and pour their own schooners,” says owner Alyce La Fauci. Self-pour wine, cider and cocktails will also be available alongside a menu set to showcase slow-cooked meats, wings, burgers and house-made sauces.
