Tin Dog Brewing

Small-batch, Belgium-inspired brews are the name of the game at Tin Dog Brewing, and you can’t (or rather, shouldn’t) exit this establishment without drinking a saison. Expect pours “inspired by pre-modern European Farmhouse brewers of the past” at their South Park taproom and bring the whole family—dogs and kids welcome.

Until a few years ago, who knew that a relatively unknown dive in this working class 'hood was turning out one of America's best burgers? Well, we did, obviously. And who knew a relatively unknown brewery in the same 'hood was turning out some of the city's best beers? Clearly, that question is rhetorical, so we'll just skip to telling you about their boundary pushing brews, like the barrel-aged Melange Deux, which just won a gold medal at the Washington Brewers Choice Awards, or their flagship farmhouse style Saison. Just don't count on finding 'em at your favorite bar -- their taproom is basically the only place to get their beers. 
How to order: Their taproom is open, and a limited number of bottles & cans can be ordered online for pick-up.
