| - As much as this itinerant food aficionado likes to try challenging and exciting restaurants when in a new city, I like pizza and beer as much as the next guy, too. Doubly so when the focus is on as much local and homemade ingredients as can be found at Craft 64.
Beer is given the respect it's due, with three dozen of the most eclectic taps I've seen in a restaurant. Pistachio sours, berry wheats, chile beers, and kafir lime ales were all available, (though when one of the most popular beers in the area is an orange and vanilla wheat beer, it's not THAT surprising). There's an overwhelming amount of interesting beers to try, and if you've exhausted all of the local options, there's even four solid house beers to try. Bonus points for being an Untappd Verified Venue, so you always know what's available.
I had the carne pizza, which was topped with a bunch of wonderful cured meats. What I liked most about it was the crust - seasoned with just the right amount of chew, and a kiss of char from the brick oven. It's hard to find pizza places that give as much attention to the crust as the rest of the ingredients.
It's a small restaurant and the overflowing amount of supplies and wine left out in the open makes it seem a little messy, but in a disarming way. This isn't a fancy place, but with as much detail that's paid to their defining features, they're successful in everything they set out to do.
