Hitchhiker describes itself as a small batch brewery and it's rotating beer list is testament to that. They offer samplers, pints and growlers of their beers. There's always an impressive list of available beers (as well as their own delicious root beer) to hopefully please any palette. I haven't been disappointed by Hitchhiker's brews, my current favorite being Tumbleweed Oatmeal Brown. I've sadly missed a few beers that intrigued me over the holidays so I try to stay updated via social media (which I recommend any beer lover do with all local breweries) to watch for upcoming brews, events and local entertainment.
They have a few small bites and snacks but I've only tried the jerky. Food trucks are often there for other options, but I think that's mostly on the weekends. For any adventurous souls, stop by on Real Ale Wednesdays when Hitchhiker offers up a cask version of one of their brews (with a twist). My first encounter was the Tumbleweed Oatmeal Brown with Chocolate and Peanut Butter. The staff is always friendly and eager to help you navigate your way through their current offerings. I was told when inquiring about the weekly casks that sometimes they run out after a couple hours, sometimes it will last through the weekend. So if something catches your eye, don't wait.
Why take away a star you ask? Well, the main reason is the chairs. Those high school shop class chairs are not conducive to an extended stay drinking the bar. The taproom can also be a bit noisy when they have entertainment because the space itself is not very big. But I've heard about some outdoor (hopefully more comfortable) seating and can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can check it out and add another star.
