Atmosphere/service:
Nice seating outdoors ;however, a tip for those sampling. Never sit at a wire mash table with spalshy sampler trays. Many a wet lap after this dining experience.
Service was a wee slow. The server also liked everything so the advice was suspect.
The food was decent bar food, not spectacular but passable.
Ton of variety
The tasting
4 trays
Tray 1 Good tray, chipotle was the loser here
Brutal Bitter "good hops" "not too bitter" "classic summer beer" "better then normal bitter"
Kells Lager- "pleasant" , "good keg beer"
Juniper Pale ale- "chuggable"
Chipotle ale "tough to drink, couldn't drink more then a sample"
Tray 2 ( 3 of 4 good, smoke ale was the big loser here)
Mocha Porter- "porter lite" " easy drinking"
Chocolate Stout - " a chicks beer"
Hazelnut brown- "very chocolately" "1 could drink a lot of that" "tastes like a tootsie pop"
Smoke Ale "tastes like old wet wood" "tastes like smoked salmon"
Tray 3 starting to go downhill. St Red ok, amber ok
St Red - no comments on this one, probably best of this tray
honey wheat " smells like a urinal" - waitress said this is one of favorites
American Amber "very bitter" "more bitter then a bitter"
Soba Ale " spills easy" "overpowered by BBQ pork" "another chicks beer"
Tray 4 we didn't finish strong. Only stout was a winner here
Ol Crust barlywine "tastes like ass"
Dads malt "south side of chicago" (2 unfinished samples)
Shakespeare Stout "thumbs up" smooth"
I2PA "2 unfinished samples" " sip drink"
Best beers
Kells Lager
Hazelnut Brown
Brutal Bitter
Mocha Porter
Shakespeare Stout
quote of the day
"beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy"
Overall impression-
Nice beer variety. Very hit and miss. The classic styles (IPA, pale, amber, stout) were overall better at bridgeport. There were probably more girl friendly beers here.
