Craft beer doesn’t have to be bitter or intimidating. At Elicit Brewing, every pour is balanced, approachable, and made for sharing great flavor, conversation, and community.
If you’ve ever been told that craft beer is too strong, too bitter, or hard to love, Elicit Brewing is here to change your mind. Don’t trust us? Read on!
At Elicit, craft beer is made to be bold yet balanced, flavorful without being intimidating, creative but still completely drinkable. It’s the kind of beer you can enjoy on your own, share with friends, or discover for the first time without feeling out of place. Because great taste, at Elicit, is for everyone. Ready to find yours?
People love to make craft beer sound complicated, as if you need a degree in hops to enjoy it. But honestly, great beer is simple because the highlight is about balance. That spot where flavor meets comfort, where quality shows up quietly in every sip.
At Elicit, the brewers don’t chase trends or overload hops just to prove something. They build beers that make sense, the ones that you actually want to drink again. The flavors are layered but never loud, thoughtful without being pretentious.
And yes, the secret’s in the ingredients. Fresh hops. Local grains. Time, real time, not rushed batches. Every beer is given space to develop its own character. You can taste that patience; it’s what makes each pint feel, well, right.
Elicit Brewing was built around a simple idea. Craft beer should bring people together, spark conversations, and create good memories. Tasting craft beer should not leave anyone guessing. From hop-heads to first-timers, everyone can find something they love at Elicit.
Elicit stands out because it’s designed with community and creativity in mind. Every tap has its own story to tell, and every visit to our brewery feels like an experience.
• Balance in every pour; approachable flavor without pretension.
• Rotating taps and experimental brews; there’s always something new to sip and share.
• Beer hall energy with a cocktail bar soul. It’s not just beer; it’s an experience.
Elicit’s lineup is a perfect mix of reliable favorites and creative seasonal brews, all made to be shared. Here’s where the fun begins!
These are the beers that started it all. Balanced, easy-to-love classics that define what good craft beer should taste like. From crisp Pilsners and light-bodied Pale Ales to smooth Ambers and hop-forward IPAs, there’s something for every taste. They’re familiar enough to comfort you and fresh enough to keep you curious.
Elicit is never afraid to play with flavors. From limited releases to small-batch collaborations, there’s always something new to discover. Local ingredients, unexpected twists, and creative pairings make each release a surprise worth waiting for.

The Elicit experience is more than what’s in your glass; it's about the energy that fills the room. Step inside and you’ll feel it, the laughter, the clink of glasses, the warm, easy vibe that pulls people together.
Each taproom has its own rhythm. Spacious halls, arcade corners, and live music bring something different to every visit. It’s a place where you can show up for a happy hour, hang out with friends and family, or simply unwind after work.

Modern craft beer drinkers care about what’s in their glass, and so do we. That’s why our brewing process puts quality and transparency first.
Brewed smarter means using clean ingredients, avoiding unnecessary additives, and always putting flavor before filler. Elicit’s hand-crafted selections make it easy for everyone to enjoy a pint without worry. Transparency matters too; you’ll always know what you’re drinking. Every beer comes with a clear description of ingredients and style, so you can choose exactly what fits your taste.
If you’re new to the world of craft beer, Elicit is the perfect place to begin. The best way to explore is to start light, try a lager or a wheat beer first, then move up to the more hop-forward IPAs.
Our team is always ready to help with pairing suggestions and tasting notes, no beer snobbery, just good advice. Don’t skip the gluten-free options, even if you’re not gluten-free yourself; we’ll surprise everyone with clean and balanced taste. And of course, bring friends. After all, craft beer is meant to be shared.
Yes! Our menu includes pizzas, burgers, tacos, and more.
