"A brewpub with its brewery housed in the same building as the restaurant and popular patio, it emphasizes community-minded hospitality and staff development rather than chef-focused ego. Leadership organized a collaborative brew day in which nine women in leadership created the blood-orange When There Are Nine pale wheat ale—using a Pink Boots Society hop blend and benefitting the local No Woman, No Girl Initiative—which proved popular enough to require a second batch and release in cans and on draft. The owner frames the business around a “Quartz Effect” ethos of amplifying positive energy, and the operation visibly supports social causes (including prominent Black Lives Matter and Pride displays) while prioritizing cross-training, trust-building experiences, and employee spotlighting on social media." - Eric Ginsburg
