"This friendly spot in the former home of the neighborhood-driven Cowbell is not just a brewery — it serves wine, cocktails, and its own food menu as well — a refreshing break from monitoring the pop-up schedules of most local breweries. Calliope Beer Works, from Richard Szydlo, opened in August 2023 with stellar frozen cocktails as well as a few classics, like an Aviation and a melon daiquiri. The wine list highlights sustainability-focused producers (and is heavy on women-owned wines), and the food menu is eclectic. After a few months of serving guest beers, the brewpub launches its own lineup on November 11." - Clair Lorell
