"In a beer scene where just about all of the esteemed breweries are less than 10 years old, Todd Helton’s decades of experience make him an old hand. Patrons who sit down to soft pretzels or pulled-pork-stuffed waffles can watch the long-bearded brewer at work among the fermentation tanks. Helton is known for traditional versions of classics, like pilsner and a Scotch ale he has brewed the same way for almost 30 years. On the innovative side, his boysenberry sour has become one of the most distinctive beers in the Valley." - Chris Malloy
