Although it has been 4 or 5 years since I was down there, I always enjoyed the beer and food at NXNW. It seems like Live Oak was only a production brewery, and I believe that the Copper Tank has closed. Just FYI

Cheers,

Live Oak makes incredible beers, but I do believe they are a production brewery only. I'm not sure about tours. There is a Gingerman location right downtown with many of the local brews, plus several others. It's only a 10 minute walk from 6th street and all the great music clubs.

Sweet fellas, thanks for the replies. I got down here last night and plan to start exploring as soon as this travel drunk fog lifts. I'll be sure to let you know what I find.
