The spartan/utilitarian atmosphere is actually a welcome change from what has become the norm with many newer brewpubs -- it was comfortable and inviting even in its stark nature. <BR/><BR/>Didn't try any food (it was the last stop on an all-day brewpub crawl), but the beer was definitely top-notch save for the barleywine (which was IMO a bit weak - very hoppy like a good American BW should be, but no real malt backbone to support it. Not bad, but not great either).<BR/><BR/>The location was also interesting, in a formerly terrible neighborhood in the process of turning around; the patrons were a very varied cross-section, all centered around good beer and conversation. Eclectic in a very cool way.<BR/><BR/>My one real complaint: they do not sell half-pints. Too bad, I rather enjoy the opportunity to try several different beers and still be able to drive afterwards. IMO *all* brewpubs and beer bars should offer half-pints in addition to a sampler.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to stopping back soon, to try some of the menu in addition to the beer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
