Black Sky Brewery – Italian
Bathed in a moody, industrial glow, this spirited brewery invites guests to settle in amidst the hum of craft taps and the savory, yeasty aroma of fresh-baked dough. The kitchen turns out an array of indulgent, shareable bites, from golden, garlic-slicked "nubs" and zesty pepperoni pinwheels to bowls of hearty vegetarian chili that provide a warming counterpoint to a cold, crisp pour. It is a sanctuary for those seeking bold flavors and a laid-back atmosphere, where every bite of melted cheese and spicy wing serves as the perfect companion to a night of local craft beer.
