We are a small beer cafe, and small beer shops like us aren't represented in scan data of the major agencies. We professionals fit into a piece of the larger industry.
Though I think we sell and feature beer in fundamentally different ways, often just one can of one case at a time, the breweries carefully featured in our cafe deserve to be handled with care.
Thank you to everyone that visited the cafe in 2023, or told another about what we're doing out here. We'll have a pour service waiting for you, whenever you choose to stop in again.
Cheers,
