"Housed in an endearingly austere space, Burial Beer Co.’s main taproom looks like a repair shop that’s been retrofitted with barrels and twinkling lights. But it’s also one of the most exciting and inventive breweries in South Slope, offering a vast and varied selection of styles. IPAs typically occupy a lot of space on the draft lines, in multiple variations and flavor profiles, like fruit-forward triple IPAs and oat-based imperials. There are also dark lagers, doppelbocks, stouts, sours, and a full food menu that raises the bar on brewery snacks. Cajun pork rinds come with shrimp butter, za’atar-spiced baby radishes are dunked in golden beet hummus, and chorizo, glazed with honey and red wine, gets a pungent punch from paprika aioli, roasted potatoes, piquillo peppers, and grilled bread. On warm days, the yard provides plenty of picnic table space for post-hike drinking." - Matt Kirouac
