Super cool place that has a GREAT outdoor area with tons of craft beers. OPB is special for the community too by giving back! They host beer releases and benefit concerts to recognize local artists and raise funds for local nonprofits. Every can of beer is a 16oz canvas, and our artist collab series is dedicated to getting amazing local art into your hands.
Go give it a try!!
