Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, World of Beer has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. On Mar 24, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “no proof provided that food employees are informed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 82, which World of Beer's 67 doesn't quite reach. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
