"If you don’t have a beer agenda in mind, go to Project 9. This Maple Leaf spot is a large asphalt oasis dropped onto a busy intersection, and their beer lineup is as unpredictable as a monkey loose inside of a Home Depot. You’ll find peanut butter and jelly sandwich sours alongside turtle-flavored stout, and San Diego-style IPAs next to ones infused with pineapple and tangerine. Use it as a meet-in-the-middle spot when folks in your group are coming from opposite sides of town, or a patio session that feels just as summery as an oyster bar on the water." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
