"While best known for its crisp and sessionable Carl Kolsch, the East Congress brewery brews a wide array of styles with range: there’s solid Fresh Hop IPAs, marzen-style Oktoberfest, English pub ales, and even a pink guava sour. There’s an expansive outdoor patio here that’s always fairly full. Food from Spicy Boys is available, and there are coolers of tallboy cans to go. To-go orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Tom Thornton
