"It’s easy to miss Fortside’s tasting room, tucked into a small strip mall on Andresen Avenue, but locals flock here for reliably good brews like Orange Whip, a hazy IPA, and Couve A’licious, a dry-but-decadent brown ale. Brewer Paul Thurston took four trips to Goschie Farms in Silverton, Oregon for his Fresh Cut, a fresh-hopped hazy IPA, to get the right layered flavors of juicy grapefruit, lime, orange blossom, melon, and heady dankness. Eldy Prado recently opened his second El Viejon food truck outside of Fortside offering his own delicious take on Jalisco-style food like his mahi mahi fish taco and El Gobernador taco with shrimp, mozzarella cheese, and chipotle aioli encased in a crispy, grilled tortilla. El Viejon’s first truck still sits outside of Vice Beer." - Rachel Pinsky
