Nerd out at Avondale’s 8-Bit Aleworks, the nostalgic bring-your-own-snacks microbrewery that pays homage to old-fashioned gaming. Brews, which are mostly heavy and hoppy at 8-Bit, have Nintendo references like “Black Mage” stout, “Hopsassins Creed” IPA, and “Legend of Zymur” double IPA, and taps are topped with vintage controllers. Situated in an actual office park, 8-bit owns the industrial panache intrinsic to most breweries and takes it to the next level with high ceilings and big windows offering sweeping, pastoral views of a large commercial complex.
