Pilot Project

Founded as an incubator where multiple breweries can share equipment and produce small batches of beer, Pilot Project is a great place to sit down and sample many wildly different types of beers in one sitting. In addition to mainstays like a house IPA and lager, the sterile but cozy taproom also serves creations from breweries that specialize in culinary-inspired beer, kombucha and beer-wine hybrids. A patio lined with picnic tables provides plenty of room for outdoor drinking and an early-morning menu of coffee and pasties caters to freelancers, who post up with their laptops throughout the afternoon.
