Sake 101
-Sake is brewed. Brewed like a beer and the mash is rice.
-Tradition: You NEVER pour your own Sake. You always pour for the person you are drinking with. It is bad form to pour for yourself.
-There are grades of Sake.

Ukiyo - Neal's next big project!
Ukiyo is a restaurant inspired by Japan and the world more closely around us. We make every attempt to only menu fish from sources that value sustainability as much as we do. We rely heavily on the farmers, foragers, mycologist, beekeepers, artisans, and neighbors in our area. Ukiyo offers a la carte dining, a casual Kaiseki experience, and a reservation-only Omakase. Opening December 2017 in MidTown.

Farmhouse Ale
Brewers and chefs have a lot in common, they love new ingredients, they love to experiment with them, and they love to bring joy into peoples' lives through the use of flavor and aroma. WE brewed this beer using toasted rice, wild rice, buckwheat, Indiana sumac, and grains of paradise. Complex yet drinkable, this is the perfect beer for the end of a shift on the line or after a long brew day. A collaboration with Chef Neal Brown
