Word on the street
What locals are saying
Commonhouse Aleworks has earned its status as the beating heart of Park Circle since opening in 2018 — a brewery that takes the 'community' pitch seriously enough to actually back it with weekly beer runs, poetry nights, Pride block parties, and charity fundraisers baked into every pint sold. The beer holds up its end of the bargain: the Park Circle Pale Ale and the tart, saline Air is Salty Gose get consistent praise, and the range spans approachable lagers to double dry-hopped IPAs without losing its footing. The 2024 partnership with Swig & Swine solved a long-standing gripe about limited food options, though no-frills beer pricing still draws the occasional complaint from first-timers expecting neighborhood-bar tabs.
