The final brewpub for year 1,
Two locations - we chose the downtown location with right at home feeling. Actually, it was a house, but not claustrophobic.
Waitress (Mary) was less than friendly and slow.
We were also deeply disturbed by last call at 9:00 PM!!!!
Food:
Todd: Fish and Chips – good
Scott: Santa Fe Burger - good could use some spice
Steve: Same - good
Rob: Black Bean Taco - good
Here is some general comment from group on the BEER selections:
Seasonal IMSO Ale: yummy, sweet, fizzy (make what you want of that)
Mother Load Golden Ale: Big name for golden ale – shot too high, not quite the mother load
Workhorse IPA: taste like deodorant (a one pint beer)
HOP Monkey IPA: Tasty, easy drinking, mellow IPA, but good (this one was a hit)
Free Range Red: Okay, but not great. Beats having the Big D talk with a friend.
Hooligan: Malty, Not a fan, malty not cooperating
Tree Hugger Porter: Thick and tons of flavor. Scott and Todd are officially tree huggers
Space Stout: Slam dunk for Rob as soon as he smelled the coffee flavor.
The winners:
Hop Monkey IPA – Steve and Rob
Tree Hugger Porter – Todd and Scott
In summary, this is a brew pub with a coffee house feel. It’s the perfect place for a beer known as Tree Hugger. Names like Space Stout and Hooligan have no place here.
