I recommend the Mahrs beer as well as the Schlenkerla if you like it very smokey.

The beer selection was good but something must be up with the tap lines. Every beer we ordered was mostly flat/very little carbonation. Would be 5 stars if they figured it out. Updated 11 months later: the tap line issues persist. Hard to enjoy flat beers. Some of the craft beer makers would be furious if they knew their beers were being served like this. Please seek a service and train your staff on replacing and cleaning taps.
