I decided to try the "My Verona," a golden ale with a subtle aftertaste that lived up to its billing. The ale was perfectly balanced, offering a refreshing taste that was just what I needed. As I sipped on my beer, I struck up a great conversation with the friendly bartender who made me feel right at home. We chatted about the brewery, its history, and the various brews on tap.

The highlight of my visit, however, was meeting a gentleman who looked remarkably like Santa Claus. He even had a business card introducing himself as "The Real Beard Victorian Santa," available for community celebrations, corporate events, and more. It was a delightful surprise and added a unique charm to the evening.

The staff at Inner Groove Brewing were incredibly accommodating. They even gave me a brief tour of the brewing area, explaining the process and sharing their passion for craft beer. I got a sneak peek at their new pilsner, which is soon to be available for public consumption. It was fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes work that goes into crafting such excellent beers.

All in all, Inner Groove Brewing is a gem in Verona. The combination of great beer, friendly staff, and interesting conversations made for an unforgettable experience. If you find yourself in the area with some time to spare, I highly recommend stopping by and enjoying a pint or two. Cheers to good times and great brews!
