The Food & Drinks:

Rakau Goat Hazy IPA

Rocket 88 Mexican Lager

The beers at Inner Groove were all great. Our group got a variety of beers, the IPA being the one I chose. The hazy IPA was smooth, cold, and rich, with it not being too overpowering on the hops. I did try some of the Mexican lager, which was crisp and light. The plum shaker was flavorful and had a very sour punch when you take a sip.

Pepperoni Pizza

During our visit, we also got food from Fireside Pizza Co. The menu is very small with only a few pies available. We got the pepperoni, Marco, and butcher pizzas. All of them were great, the Marco being my favorite. It had arugula, prosciutto, shaved parm, and lemon evoo. I loved the dough, ingredients, and the cook time was perfect!

Service:

The bartenders at Inner Groove Brewing were very friendly. It was slightly busy when we went on a Friday evening, but they were able to get us drinks fairly quick. Some of the staff also came around later on and offered us some homemade cookies that someone brought in, which was really nice.

Atmosphere:

Brewing Tanks

Inner Groove has a cool, modern brewery feel. When you first walk in, the bar is to the left with lots of wood paneling on the walls all throughout the place. You can sit at tables along the right wall where there is a huge painting of the logo. Towards the back are the brewing tanks and a small outside area with picnic tables and umbrellas.

Rating: Excellent |⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐|

Inner Groove Brewing is a fantastic place to get beer if you are in Verona. There is also another location in Allentown, a neighborhood of Pittsburgh near Mt. Washington. This location, however, has great beer, cool staff, and a relaxed, chill vibe. If you are looking to get food, they have plenty of food trucks throughout the week.
