Excellent selection of pizzas. As their name suggests, they also brew their own beer. It's quite tasty, but also much higher than normal in alcohol content, so order accordingly.

Parks & Nature

They have about a mile of boardwalks over the wetlands. You can see many different types of birds and maybe even turtles and alligators. Birds are most active early morning and right before sunset.

It's about a 45-minute drive and you will probably have to dodge a lot of potholes, but it's worth it to possibly see coyotes, roadrunners, bobcats, javelinas, caracaras, etc.
