Humble Parlor describes itself as a “nano brewery” with a cozy, friendly taproom (a mini-“Cheers” bar) with a limited number of delicious beers. At one time, visitors needed a secret code to enter, but hooray, that is no longer necessary. The owners mention on their website, “We have a variety of house-made beers, guest beers, guest cider, canned cocktails, and hard seltzers. Our 1/2bbl system provides us with a lot of new beers with a focus on IPAs, Lagers, and stouts. We sprinkle in the occasional Belgian and sour when we crave it.”
This brewery doesn’t offer food, but there are many restaurants nearby, and you can bring in food, as well. The manager suggested some pizza options: Circles and Squares or The OG; Tommy’s pizza is also close by. Primo’s Hoagies shop is not far away from Humble Parlor. There are also great restaurants nearby, if you wanted to have dinner after the tasting!
