Required Drinking: For IPA lovers the Populist should be a welcome site. Fruity, hoppy with a mouth-watering bitterness, this beer does not disappoint.
Atmosphere:
Standing outside of the taproom you might find yourself questioning what exactly you are doing on this little street in Glassell Park. However once inside you will find an immaculately clean and nicely finished tap room that stands in stark contrast to the building’s somewhat bleak exterior. The taproom also offers a great view of the brewery itself through the large glass window at the back of the room.
Overall Impression:
With friendly, smiling staff, a large granite bar top, and a lively crowd of beer enthusiasts and locals, a trip into Eagle Rock is a great low-key beer outing. Looking at the website can get you the food truck info, but they also allow you to bring your own food, so pack a dinner and enjoy it with a few tasty beers that were brewed about 50 feet away.
