A shout out to the Ursa Minor team for making our NYE during such an historically unusual time (i.e. COVID era). We spent a couple hours on their patio where we stayed toasty warm on the Inside (thanks to their tasty beers) and on the outside (thanks to their multiple heaters including a ginormous stove-pipe oven). I appreciated the wide variety of beer styles and the gracious, humble hosts. We didn't realize for quite some time that the people we were talking about travel, hometowns, etc. were the co-owners and sister/sister-in-law. On the beer...variety, but selective.....meaning there weren't 10 IPAs, but rather an IPA, a pale ale, a trippel, etc. We had a couple of styles and each was really good!

Amazing beer, Amazing Pizza, Amazing Atmosphere. This is by far my favorite brewery and best pizza in town. I highly recommend! The employees and friendly and knowledgeable about their products and the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy.

Amazing Pizza, delicious beer, and a neat outdoors patio with plenty of space between tables and several wood stoves + a firepit for warmth. There was live music there on Saturday night which was also a cool touch.
