"Halfway Crooks isn’t just some neighborhood brewery, it’s among the finest in the city. Beer snobs can find everything from lagers to radlers. The food options lean heavily into the German bierhaus theme with a solid beer brat, currywurst, and a thick pretzel (side eyes because it’s only half a pretzel). The real appeal of this spot is the exposed brick rooftop with large picnic tables that can easily fit multiple large groups. But the biergarten out back brings another outdoor seating option. Enclosed by colorful shipping containers, it's a shady spot where people can vibe out to live music sessions. It fully cements Halfway Crooks as the best place to drink and chill in the neighborhood." - juli horsford, demarco williams
"With a limited, yet appetizing, food menu of wings and different versions of fries, Summerhill's Halfway Crook is the go-to spot for real beer heads who crave remarkable, true-to-style ales and lagers. The co-founders grew up on a sheep farm and studied brewing in Belgium before immigrating to the U.S., so they take pride in their European-inspired pilsners, märzens, radlers, schwarzbiers, and helles. The place looks like a Belgian cafe fused with ’80s tech-themed packaging and decor. And if not for the full bar, the taproom would feel reminiscent of a cozy living room. The second level is airy with a large projector screen (mostly showing wildlife videos) while their beer garden across the street is where you'll often hear DJs spinning vinyl on the weekends." - dennis malcolm byron
"A neighborhood brewery that also offers a beer garden and casual food-and-beer pairings, contributing to the area’s beer-and-bites scene." - Beth McKibben
"This tech-themed brewery is owned by electrical engineer Shawn Bainbridge, Tim Kilic, and Belgium-born brewer Joran Van Ginderachte and produces a variety of Belgian and American ales and lagers as well as barrel-aged beers. Grab a seat on the covered rooftop bar above the main tasting room, which features a louver ceiling, TVs, and a separate ordering counter." - Eater Staff
"Summerhill’s only brewery is hosting Boevenmarkt holiday markets on Dec. 8, Dec. 14, Dec. 15, and Dec. 21. Expect local vendors, live performances, hot mulled beverages, firepits, and two limited-edition holiday beers." - juli horsford, jacinta howard
