For the last several months we have often treated ourselves to a mid-week visit to Tap 25. Located in picturesque Blacksmith Square, this fine alehouse is an added jewel to downtown Livermore.
 The two rooms are interestingly decorated in brewery posters - neat but uncluttered. There are tap changes weekly. A wide variety of beers are offered. Our main contact has been with the owner, but all the staff we have met has been friendly and knowledgeable. They are able and anxious to guide customers to memorable selections. We often bring snacks as there is no food service. However, in visits to other alehouses offering good beers, we found food service generally really poor to inedible and expensive.
  Other customers have been cordial. For us, it might be more enjoyable if music were less loud or absent. We really like visiting among ourselves or with other customers while enjoying and discovering new beers. Thank you Tap 25!
