Beer Selection
Expect a broad tap list with something for everyone. Flagships like Ophelia’s Wit (a Belgian-style witbier), No Pun IPA (a hop-forward favorite), and Coffee Porter (smooth with a bold roast) are always crowd-pleasers. Seasonal and experimental brews rotate frequently, including styles like Imperial Oktoberfest, fruited sours, and barrel-aged releases. Free samples help guests find their favorite. No in-house seltzers or ciders, but non-alcoholic options and guest taps may be available.

Try This: The Ophelia’s Wit pairs citrus and spice for a crisp, refreshing sip. A local favorite on warm afternoons.

The Experience
The vibe is relaxed and homey. The space fits up to 200 people and includes both indoor and outdoor seating. There’s a big bar, group tables, and a patio for sunny days. Reviewers love the friendly staff, known as “stooges,” who are quick with a beer suggestion and a laugh. Abbey Spencer often chats with guests, adding a personal touch. The noise level is moderate with occasional live music. Board games and casual events keep the mood fun.

Food and Drink
The food comes from The Window, a separate kitchen with a walk-up counter. Expect hearty bar fare like mac n’ beer cheese, Scotch Eggs, burgers, wings, and shareable apps. No table service, so order at the window and pick it up when it’s ready. Menu includes vegetarian options and kid-friendly picks. Portions are solid, though some guests mention pricing. No delivery or takeout from the kitchen, but beer to-go is available.

Try This: The Scotch Eggs are a standout snack with a cult following. Crispy, savory, and perfect with a pint.

Third Wheel hosts regular events, from new beer launches to trivia and charity nights. The space is available for private bookings and group gatherings. They’re active in local community causes and often feature collaborations with other brewers and nonprofits. Up-to-date event details and beer releases are posted on their Instagram and Facebook pages.
