The Sycamore Brewery is a brewery, taproom and beer garden with a lively vibe and plenty of weekly events. This is one of the best places to head to with your friends. Choose from over 28 rotating drafts as you play games like corn hole and ping pong. The indoor room is cozy and fitted with poplar plank walls and a copper-finished bar. Virtually everything in the bar was crafted by the owner himself, or a member of his family, and this care is beautifully reflected in every line - a true labor of love. The same passion has gone into the crafting of their signature ales; try the Peak Farm or Mountain Candy. For eats, you can order from their limited menu of gourmet sandwiches or opt for a bite from one of their partner food trucks. The lively atmosphere is amplified by musical performances each weekend, making it a must-visit for beer aficionados and non-beer drinkers alike.
