BREWERIES
Just around the corner from the house!
We love this local brewery and have enjoyed many fun-filled walks to and from Highlands Hollow. The neighborhood trail will put you right at the parking lot. You will find that they have live music often, the staff is very friendly, and the food is great! They also offer patio seating with misters during the summer.

One of our favorite! Cloud 9 is a nanopub concept featuring locally sourced and organic components in both the brewery and restaurant.
With an emphasis on creative brewing, Cloud 9 is situated in a unique place in the market. Instead of having the exact same line-up from month to month, the beers on-tap at Cloud 9 change as soon as the last drop from the previous batch has been poured. With so many taps, and only 6 year-round beers, the variety is truly amazing.

One of our favorite for a great craft cocktail and is right downtown across from Fork Restaurant (listed under restaurants in our guide). Eat dinner at the Fork and then make your way to The Mode Lounge for a night cap. The Mode does offer to serve you pizza from the Pie Hole next door (pizzeria).
