Had a good time taking the family down to meet up Had a good time taking the family down to meet up with city friends at @ocmousetrap and interview @offcolorbrewing co-founder John Laffler for a spotlight feature in our upcoming spring issue. Apex Predator may have put this Old Town brewery on the map, but don’t sleep on their quality Vienna-style lager (Beer for the Top Shelf), wild ale with sudachi and white tea, dark lager (Ten Crowns) or pale ale (Beer for Lounging).
