You’re probably aware of Madison’s craft beer hotspots, but there are still some great hidden gems with surprising tap lists to discover out there. When I find one, I’ll let you know. And if you come across a best-kept craft beer secret, please let me know<\/a>, too.<\/em><\/span>\n

Somehow, 15 taps doesn\u2019t even sound like all that many these days. But when you work them like they do at Glass Nickel Pizza\u2019s eastside location<\/a> on Atwood, you can go toe-to-toe with the 100+ tap line chains. You won\u2019t find a macro line here, not even Spotted Cow.<\/p>\n

General manager Quinn McConnell and bar manager Adam Zierten have the freedom to play with their offerings. By dedicating a \u201cMagnificent Seven\u201d of their lines to specific breweries (Surly, Founders, Ale Asylum, Karben4, Lagunitas, Lakefront and Avery), they get access to brews from those producers they might not otherwise. Since the moneymaker in the pizza game continues to be Glass Nickel\u2019s delivery service, there is more leeway in the design of the dining room and bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dining room is a nice way to showcase our food and beer, but those sales are not critical to our overall success,\u201d says McConnell, \u201cso we have very few limits on what we can buy.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can usually count on at least one spectacular stout on tap at all times. In the last three months alone they\u2019ve tapped: The Bruery\u2019s So Happens It\u2019s Tuesday (4.21 average rating on Untappd<\/a>), Epic\u2019s Big Bad Baptista (4.45), Lagunitas\u2019s High West-ified (4.26), Avery\u2019s Tweak (4.41), Revolution\u2019s Deth\u2019s Tar (4.32), and Perennial\u2019s Sump (4.32). Any one of those is enough to get me there for just a pour, and I love having a spot that will serve the big stouts throughout summer when IPAs and sours tend to rule the land.<\/p>\n

The Atwood neighborhood where Glass Nickel is located has become something of a craft beer destination with Barleypop Tap & Shop recently joining Next Door Brewing and One Barrel Brewing. McConnell and Zierten are happy to be a part of that community, benefiting from a centralized location for distributors while simultaneously battling for that extra special product. The so-called \u201ccraft beer community\u201d can be a discerning, hard-to-keep-happy bunch, but Glass Nickel does it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe like the idea of a rising tide carrying all boats,\u201d says McConnell. \u201cThe Atwood neighborhood is poised to be a great local destination for food and beer.\u201d\u00a0Something tells me Glass Nickel isn\u2019t the only secret buried here…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
