"Anchored by a taproom the size of a big living room, Wren House has won a cult following. Its staple lager, Valley Beer, can be enjoyed at many top restaurants around town and reflects what Wren House does: make technically impressive beers. The simplest, by-the-book brew styles such as the Jomax stout and Spellbinder IPA stand out on the tap list. Wren also has a robust barrel-aging program attuned to the seasons. Head brewer Preston Thoeny flexes his creativity with projects like a fall pie series, Las Frescas (fruited sours), and a dark lager brewed with oyster shells." - Chris Malloy
