Although it is not downtown, their Tasting Room has plenty of room for a variety of activities including live music, vendor markets, and more. You can always drink their craft beer at their downtown location too – The Brewpub! They are known for their Sexual Chocolate and release a new beer every few months where proceeds to support a non-profit.
