Upper Hand Brewery – American
Stepping into this vibrant taproom feels like a warm embrace from the North, where the golden glow of craft ales meets the irresistible aroma of bubbling, cheese-laden pizzas fresh from the oven. Friends gather around rustic tables to tear into pillowy soft pretzels and savory house pickles, washing down every hearty bite with a cold, hop-forward UPA or a signature IPA. It is a spirited destination where the craft of brewing and the comfort of a perfectly melted slice come together for a quintessential neighborhood experience.
