All the above beers listed as 4 oz I sampled in a flight, six 4 oz samples for $8. This folks, is the cheapest flight you will find in the city. Go out and sample! You will not be disappointed. Each beer was really well done and had a unique flavor profile to it. My favorite of the bunch was the Green Beret Pistachio Brown Ale, but unfortunately it was only brewed for the month of January as a specialty brew. The sweet pistachio finish was unreal. This month’s specialty brew, De Lorean, is excellent as well. The charred orange flavor really stands out. As for the four main beers, you cant go wrong with Kitchen Sink, an easy drinking pale ale with great hop flavor. With my flight, I ordered a Cuban sandwich and fries, both of which were excellent. HTH is open everyday from 11 am-10 pm (Midnight on Fri and Sat). Get out and enjoy the South Sides best craft beer!
