Enjoy the Buzz

Our taproom was built in the 1960s as an auto showroom for Volkswagen so it features a 180-degree glass facade that allows our guests to enjoy the downtown skyline and watch the cars buzz by. We wanted to stay true to the original design so you’ll see mid-century modern decor throughout. Plush couches, textured walls and quartz countertops help accentuate the eclectic vibe. During the day, the taproom is flooded with natural light, but at night, it takes on a completely different vibe of city lights and sexy ambiance.

Historical Beer - Grodziskie / Grätzer
Xul Beer Company
Welcome to Grodzisk Wielkopolski. Grodzisk is our take on the classic Polish Grodziskie, a historical beer style from the town of Grodzisk Wielkopolski in western Poland, often called “Polish Champagne." This 3.9% smoked lager pours a light golden hue with a lively, effervescent carbonation and a crisp, dry finish. Brewed with 100% Weyermann oak smoked wheat malt, it delivers a delicate, refined smokiness that never overwhelms. Subtle notes of fresh bread and a touch of honey sweetness round out the aroma and flavor profile. Refreshing, nuanced, and endlessly drinkable, it’s a modern tribute to a timeless tradition.

Stout - Imperial / Double
Xul Beer Company
Gourmand is a collaborative blend born from a weekend at the Ryder Cup, where conversations between Xul, Other Half, and Side Project turned into one of our most interesting stout projects to date. Each brewery exchanged barrel-aged stouts, creating unique three-way blends at our respective breweries. The final version combines stouts aged 18 to 29 months in a variety of oak barrels before being conditioned with Cook Islands vanilla, black truffles, and caviar. While unconventional on paper, each ingredient was used with restraint, adding subtle layers of depth and savory complexity while allowing the character of the barrels to remain firmly in the spotlight.
