The Hype Was Overbrewed

I stopped by Portico Brewing Company with high hopes, given all the buzz about their unique taproom experience. Unfortunately, my visit was a letdown. The beer selection, while creative, didn't quite live up to my expectations. I tried their Previously On- West Coast IPA, which sounded promising but tasted overly bitter without much depth. The real disappointment, though, was the atmosphere. The combination of Legos, Nintendo games, and cornhole felt like a messy attempt to be trendy rather than genuinely fun. The outdoor seating area was cramped, and the in-house taqueria, Taqueria El Barrio, had a limited menu that didn't impress. For a place that aims to be a community hub, it felt surprisingly impersonal. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but with so many other great breweries in the area, I won't be rushing back to give Portico another chance. 2.5/5 stars, and that's being generous.
