Bold Monk Brewing Co.

The Bold Monk is a beautiful spot to start your Saturday or Sunday with brunch. Lofty ceilings, big windows letting in lots of light, and, oh yeah, plenty of beer brewed on premises. The brunch menu is not overwhelming here and that’s one of the things that’s so great about it. Think skillets (like the bold hash with roasted pork and fingerling potatoes) and liege waffles. There’s also coffee if you want that kind of brew, too.

Does your other favorite new brewery also have its own library? If not, you can still support them but you’ll have the best chance to put those brain cells back in place at Bold Monk. Best explained as “a place to simply be,” Bold Monk comes through with a great ambiance and great beer. The 7.3% ABV Discipline Dubbel is also a strong pull for fall season, as the classic Dubbel comes with notes of toasted bread, brandied cherry, and caramel. Or keep going up with the Belgian-style 8.8% The Way Tripel. The Shared Spirit IPA won’t steer you wrong either, but why not stay warm this autumn with some high ABV brews?
