| - In one of those ridiculous desert rainstorms, we walked/ran down the block from our hotel to Fate, where we whiled away the rest of the storm drinking tasty beer and eating pizza bread.
The presentation of the beer menu is a tease here, as they list off all the beers they brew, leaving you salivating, before you realize that only three of them are currently available. On our visit, two were IPAs, which seemed redundant with such a small selection. Then I realized they had a couple of other beers which were not on the menu (5 or 6 total, plus some "guest" beers from other breweries) and I felt less confined. All the beers we had were very good, and not weak. They give you stats (alcohol content, IBUs, etc) to help you pick. I could see coming back every so often just to check out what's new on tap.
We also had pizza bread, which was basically a medium cheese pizza. It was exactly what the mid-afternoon happy hour called for. Speaking of happy hour, we had four beers and that pizza for $18, which is kind of a ridiculous deal.
I love checking out local breweries when I'm visiting a city, and this place exemplifies why.
