Less than a year after its opening, this veteran-owned brewery near the Pearl complex has already made a big splash with fans. Man Overboard keeps as many as 12 beers on draft along with a limited selection of seltzers, which is quite a feat on a three-barrel brewing system. Its beer styles run the gamut but lean heavily toward Belgian and American favorites. Some of the brews are named after the owners, but in keeping with its vet-owned status, nautical and naval themes dominate. For example, the Big Stick brown ale derives its moniker from a nickname for the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.
