I purposely picked my hotel so I could visit this brewery, and I was not disappointed. The place is spacious and airy and the people there are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I sat at the bar and spent most of my time talking with Matt who was bartending and is also the assistant brewer.

The Romans named the five planets closest to the Sun after their most important gods. These were the only planets that were bright enough for them to see. Later, when telescopes were used, other planets were discovered. Astronomers decided to continue naming the planets after Roman Gods with one exception-Uranus. Uranus was named after the Greek god of the sky. According to myth, he was the father of Saturn and the grandfather of Jupiter.
