It is a microbrewery with 6 kinds of beer all microbrewed onsite on the 2nd floor. I tried 4 of the microbeers, and I'd recommend the West River Weissen and Black Eyed Bear Stout. The North Star IPA was tooo bitter and strong for my taste. I don't remember the name of the other one, it was a Pilsner. Tried the Tex-Mex. The nachos were huge and tasted good, although the chips should have been physically hotter. And the chicken fajitas were tasty, a bit spicy. I didn't like the refried beans though.

I blame your camera. Used to get funny looks from the Chinese when I ordered TsingTao Draft or ZhuJiang Draft in 'high-crass' restaurants but they go great with Shanghainese and Cantonese food. Drank them all the time during my 4 years in China. Strangely I also grew me a third nipple.
