Backwoods brewing




 First entry for 2023. Had a quorum of 4 (John, Ben, Rob, Todd)

A nice brewpub in the pearl. They have a large selection on their tap lists , 3+ IPAs, 3+ Stouts , a pale, pilsner, sour, ... 

Diverse food - The groups opted for sandwiches- reuben, cheesesteak , patty melt. Food was fine/adequate didn't blow the socks off but solid. Menus had typical salads, burgers, nachos, sings, etc... selection

Now back to beer:

they had a golden stout- it was indeed golden . However in 3 taster trays they all tasted different so not really sure what it tastes like.

The sour -same issue as the golden stout- different tastes for everyone.

dreamsickle - orange and vanilla flavored, it definitely had those flavors not bad a little wierd

As to darks

Pecan porter- flavorful

King size stout - rumored to taste like snickers - different people got this to mixed levels. Overall on the sweeter side of stouts

Coca nut stout- porter with some coconut overtones, 

Smores golden stout- the mystery golden stout, base don different tasters hard to know

Johns tasting rating

Exploration IPA (1), Off grid IPA (2), King size stout (3), Party Acres IPA (4_ Dreamsickle (5) , Rough current sour (6) 

Robs favorite- pilsner. To him stouts/porters tasty but better in snifter size (10 or 12oz)

overall pleasant place for a trip
