The "Brewstillery" has pushed the "stillery" part of the name harder with an expanded menu of cocktails.
‘Tis the season for some cocktails, fa la la la la, la la la, drink.
Downtown’s Thunder Canyon Brewstillery has pushed the “stillery” part of the name harder with an expanded menu of cocktails.
The cocktail menu features 24 different libations now; most of them feature Thunder Canyon’s own spirits, while about a quarter of them feature spirits from their neighbor Independent Distillery.

Lil’ Boozy ($8) – Independent Distillery gin, dry curacao, and fresh sour, topped with Thunder Canyon Sunrise Wheat beer and barrel-aged bitters
