Jasmine IPA gets me through the summer, I get so excited every fall when it's time for pumpkin ale, and then every winter when they roll out their dark brews. The rest of the beers are good, but the seasonal ones take the cake. You can get Elysian beer in stores, but it never compares to getting it on tap at one of their breweries. The food is average, the atmosphere is a little strange and disorienting (it doesn't seem complete somehow, like they never finished a remodel) but the beer's definitely worth the trip alone. And in the summer, when the big windows are open and there's a slight breeze, you can sit in the sun, watch joggers heading to Green Lake, sip your pint and think about how life is good.
Pros: Good beer
Cons: Average food
