The brewery that put the Avondale neighborhood on the map, with a large taproom, outdoor beer garden, and a rotating lineup of ales and lagers including the flagship Spring Street Saison. The outdoor stage hosts live music on weekends and the large covered porch is almost always occupied. The taproom's interiors feature local art and the kind of deliberately imperfect renovation that suits the neighborhood's character.
This is the logical starting point for a night in Avondale. The surrounding blocks have added enough independent bars and restaurants that you could spend an entire evening without moving more than a few hundred meters.
