Like beer? Like cider? Like soda/pop products that aren't the typical fizzy drinks found everywhere you go? Stop in at Bierport ASAP and get ready to fall in love. I'm here on a regular basis because they're directly next door to a movie theater, meaning that it's super easy to find a unique beverage to enjoy during my movie night.
The top floor of Bierport is pretty much all craft beer; on the stairs to their lower level is a selection of cider that I frequent. The lower level houses their collection of fizzy drinks (think Red Ribbon plus the independent brews that you can find scattered throughout the rest of the U.S.); a refrigerator with some chilled beverages; and a small bar/tasting area. There's also seating in a corner that I've seen converted into a performance space when they bring in musicians.
Because there's so much within such a cool and cozy space, I am able to come here with literally anyone I know and have fun. Friends and I have browsed and purchased sugary fizzy drinks for our movie night; put together six packs of beverages to go home with us after our movie; laughed at the amazing names on some of the craft brews; even hung out between dinner and our movie in the lower level, just spending some time together chatting. It's impressive since I have a number of friends who cannot or do not drink - so Bierport having enough to satisfy both myself and my alcohol-free pals is really appreciated by all.
Don't feel like you have to limit yourself to the refrigerator if you're looking for a cold brew, by the way; they have a rapid cooling system at the checkout counter, so as long as you're ok waiting a couple more minutes, you can go about your night with a chilled brew.
Until next time, Bierport!
