This is one of those places that I HAVE to stop in whenever I pass through Madison. I've tried their other locations, but only the original downtown spot is worth the stop. The other locations in strip malls seems to suck the soul out of the experience. For me, the beauty of this place is that everything I have tried just pops with flavor. They truly have built a menu of foods designed to eat with beer. And the beer! I love it that the brews are all unique and different (too many brew pubs use the same hops blend for every style...Booo!) and all of them represent an outstanding version of the particular style. I'm particular fond of the scotch ale.
