Downstairs, Bill’s is a tavern and restaurant; upstairs is a
small brewery that holds four fermenters and typically offers
a rotation downstairs of nine beers on tap. About 25 different
beer recipes rotate throughout the brewery in a given year.
Dave Parker – head brewer now for the last 12 years –
has a 26-year history with the tavern and is one of only two
employees who worked at the location before the 1997
major remodel. “Asa’s Blonde,” a Bill’s staple on tap was
even named after Parker’s son who was born in 2000.
A lot has changed in the craft brewing industry since
Bill’s was founded; while the old staples reign, Parker still
enjoys staying creative. “We run our specialty beers for a
limited time – they only last 10 days or so before they are
gone,” he said. A recent special was the 2017 “Eclipse Beer.”
The “Black IPA” is hoppier than a regular IPA and was made
specially in honor of the 2017 eclipse.
A “Beer Geek Beer” is for the adventurous drinker –
Parker enjoys keeping at least one on tap; over the years
ingredients have included chili, ginger and spruce. “It’s
something unusual for the beer connoisseurs out there,” said
Parker.
At the same time, Parker doesn’t want to overwhelm the
palate with beers that are too heavy. “Everyone who walks
through the door will be able to find something that works
for them. We strive to have a spectrum of good beers that
are drinkable and not too heavy,” he said.
While good beer remains a draw, Bill’s food and
ambiance accents that experience. The dog friendly patio
outside and a popular menu that has remained largely
unchanged for many years offers old favorites like a saffron
seafood stew, burgers, fish and chips and their most
requested daily special—fish tacos.
At Bill’s there is truly something for everyone.
