True to its name, The Beer Temple is a sanctuary for craft-brew lovers, housing a spacious taproom where visitors can have a drink and a bottle shop stocked with plenty of interesting brews. Owner (and Certified Cicerone) Chris Quinn is quick with a quality recommendation, interesting tidbits on particular brewing processes, encyclopedic knowledge of the history of various brews and samples of new beers on his doorstep.
