This spot has closed for good. We're keeping the page around for the memories — it no longer appears in our guides or recommendations.

Pinches , the food truck located on the side of the brewery, serves up the perfect companion to your beer of choice. Sure, you can order a specific taco or multiple tacos, but the taco flight is a cure for indecisive eaters.
