The Stuff Bogart Would’ve Drunk

DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE

Found You a New Beer Garden

What Half Acre’s first taproom lacks in size, it makes up for in brisket burritos. The brewery’s second taproom, however, opens Saturday with a massive restaurant and beer garden.

They’re serving things like Thai-fried-chicken-and-waffle sandwiches and bulgogi cheesecake all month long. Nice to meet you, Hapa.
