Craft beer is already delicious, and the king of beers. But the craft brews at 13 Stripes are insanely wonderful, and very few store brands can hold up against these bold flavors and complex, layered combinations. If you d like something lighter, vibrant, and crisp on a hot summer s day, try 13 Stripes IPAs. If you want something reminiscent of coffee, and filling like hot cocoa was on a childhood winter s day, a milk stout is a great option. Even beers you might consider oddities with flavors you wouldn t think to pair are all interesting and enjoyable.
The atmosphere of 13 Stripes is family-friendly, with couches to lounge on and games for the kids to play, as well as a family bathroom which makes changing a child s diaper much more convenient.
If you re coming by yourself wanting to just escape for an hour, the huge concrete bar is perfect to sit and chat with the friendly staff who all have fascinating stories to tell, as do some of the regular customers. The art on the walls makes you feel patriotic, like when the national anthem is playing before your favorite baseball team comes on the field, and you re surrounded by men and women in uniform who ve made sacrifices for our country and you re proud to stand beside them, as an eagle screeches Freedom! in the background.
The shirts are super comfortable, and new releases come out every few months, so you always want to stop by the counter to look.
There are really tasty, high-quality snacks (like flavored hummus and chips ) that actually pair up well with some of the beers, and beer is available to take home in crowlers, for those of us who can t get enough.
Breweries aren t just for one type of people anymore a certain age, gender, or lifestyle. Thirteen Stripes Brewery is a place where you can bring your husband or wife, your children, your parents, and your friends, and they ll all be able to sit with you around the long, smooth tables and play games and have conversations without the distractions of incessantly-demanding technology. This is a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, enjoy delicious beer, and funny, friendly company in a place where you can really relax and have fun, not just pretend to on social media. Whoever you are, whatever your preference in beer or company, 13 Stripes is a place to stop and have fun again.
