Nona Tap Room is celebrating their 2nd Anniversary and we were lucky enough to be able to take part. The Renegades get to see a lot of different types of beer bars with all different types of staffs and clientele. I appreciate them all for different reasons and I really like Nona Tap Room because it is a place where you can go get some great beer on draft, really good and good-looking food, and enjoy an atmosphere that does not force you to bring out your inner beer geek. Sometimes I just wanna spend an afternoon drinking really good beer with fun people and Nona is great for that. 
For their anniversary, Nona is carrying several of the brews in the Renegade Portfolio and I dig it. Five drafts to be exact including Chimay White, Boulder Hoopla, Boulder Mojo, Hobgoblin, and Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale. A great selection and we are going to have a good time working with a well-rounded selection.
A little about Nona Tap Room: They carry 50 drafts and 50 bottled beers. The food menu carries a nice selection of pub food that has been done in a very -well-presented fashion with some nice twists. They carry the classic chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, and chicken fingers then go a little upscale with calamari, shrimp skewers, and steak kabobs. They also make a fish and chips that looked awesome and a crab cake sandwich and veggie sandwich for pescetarians such as myself. The menu is much larger than I have even mentioned here.

Anyway, myself and Renegade Rip walk in and are greeted by some really friendly faces including 4 service staff and John, the General Manager. We sat at the bar and ordered some brews. The girls behind the bar were very quick, friendly, and offered some good conversation. John came over and sat with us to chat for a bit. There was some college football on and we started watching some Penn State. Watching their kicker miss 4 field goals was not fun.
They have 3 televisions over the bar, a great sound system, and an electronic menu board that is beautiful. Come to think of it, the entire place is very well done and has a very comfortable feel to it. You can tell they put some effort into planning out the place.
The place started to fill up around 2:30. I mean, it began to really fill up. nice to see a place with such a great presence in the middle of the daytime serving some great beers to a nice audience. It got so full, in fact, that John headed to the back to help cook some food. Another nice thing - seeing a manager getting their hands dirty to make it happen. The team just seemed to be really in syn with each other and as busy as they got, noone on the staff lost their cool. Awesome, awesome people. The real party was to start later at night, but Rip and I had other requirements so we had to take off around 5:00. Tell you what - I really like this spot and although it is only their 2nd anniversary, I have feeling they will be around for a long time. Cheers!
