Another firm favorite, 12 Fox Beer Company, hosts regular live events where guests can enjoy a laugh or a few good tunes to perfectly crafted beer. And, if two breweries aren’t nearly enough, the Bell Springs Brewing Company is yet another staple where locals go to enjoy the casual atmosphere and abundance of ice-cold brews.
