Ratio taking over old Declaration space + new brewer

https://www.porchdrinking.com/artic...ond-location-addition-of-brewer-philip-joyce/

They're making some pretty big moves here. I've always liked Ratio's beers and Declaration's space/location. Plus, Philip has brewed at some fantastic places with a wide variety of beers. I think this is pretty awesome if things work out.

 

I'm a Ratio fan. No clue where I'd rank them or anything, but I like their beers and their patio. Their most famous beer is Dear You. It's a "normal" sacc saison that has a ton of citrus character from the yeast and dry hopping. It reminds me a little of Hill Farmstead's flavor profile even if it's a totally different style of beer than what HF makes. It's a sleeper for the best flagship in town and there's not much like it anywhere else. Beyond that they almost always have a rye scotch ale, IPA, and an extra pale ale. I've had a pretty rockin' Czech dark lager from them a couple times, too. Genius Wizard is pretty damn good if you want something geekier. About the only weird thing about Ratio is how young the crowd is . I don't think I've ever not been the oldest person there...and not just by a couple years either. Even 2012 DBC had a few old timers around.
