"is housed within the walls of a 140-year-old church right in the heart of the city. Although the venue is now dedicated to great food rather than matters of the spirit, the stained glass windows, high ceilings and a huge, round fresco painting on the wall bring a touch of the divine to this casual tavern. The fare here is simple yet satisfying, with all-American classics taking pride of place."

"Before we dive into their unique Sours and award-winning IPAs, the historic building Reaver is housed in holds stories which make this brewery more of a destination tied to American history instead of a place to slug brews. The building was formerly a post office that dates back to 1945. While inside you will notice an upstairs portion to the brewery which is also classified as a catwalk - original to the layout of the post office."
