Cutters Brewing Company

Cincy-based restaurant The Eagle plans a Mass Ave location to open next door to Bakersfield.

Loyal customers don’t seem to mind making the effort to seek out this “hard-working beer” at its source.

With wisps of toasted coconut in both aroma and flavor, Scarlet Lane’s Dorian tastes surprisingly light for a stout. It’s actually better than Flat12’s popular version.

I live within a 10-minute walk of three craft-beer establishments, including one that made our Best New Breweries list. This is an embarrassment of riches, especially after living in states that, at the time, boasted little beer beyond Bud.
