sunupbrewing.comAlthough this 10-year-old brewery mostly manufactures handmade ales, the SunUp brewers make a mean root beer ($3 for a pint, $11 for a take-home growler). The soda is marked by a complex, rich blend of honey and four other secret sweeteners – the perfect combination for a killer kiddie cocktail. (Hours: 11 a.m.-11 p.m., S-Th; 11 a.m.-midnight, F-Sa)
