If youre looking for truly superlative IPA varieties, Mile Wide is the spot. The Nomah, Tessie and Catalina Breeze are all hop-foward IPA varieties with rich and robust flavor, dense with sublimely fruited notes. Mile Wide, although named for the width of the Ohio River near downtown, features a wide, open interior space beneath an enormous grain silo, with bar the right in the middle and seating throughout. It has an outdoor area and a few video game stand-up consoles and an enormous television. Barring that, you can puzzle over the meaning of each brews name, which always comes with some kind of story, sometimes a pop culture nod such as the McPoyles stout, and occasionally something more abstract.
