A day off spent leisurely led to the discovery of a brewpub near my home.
Had never seen, nor heard anyone speak of it. It has been around since 1999.
I ordered a Porter.
This would be my test beer... I order this in every new pub I visit.
They were out. So I ordered an IPA.
Hate to say it, but Bud American Ale had more hops in it. The ABV was nice, but no hop love was found in this pint. Maybe I am spoiled by growing up in the NW and homebrewing with pounds of cascades over the years.
I tried the Pumpkin ale.
bleh.
No pumpkin flavor at all. It tasted like a wheat beer with spices tossed in. Which would be fine if it was listed as a spiced wheat.
The $5.99 lunch special was good tho. It was fresh, tasty and served in 7 minutes.
Decent ticket time for a lunch. I would hire the guy in the kitchen if he applied at my joint. I was able to watch him from my bar stool. He worked clean and quiet.. that, I love.
The brewer was working busily. I caught him saying he wanted to get stuff done so he didn't have to come in tomorrow. Was he cutting corners?
Based on the Pumpkin ale... most likely.
I'll try it again next week.
maybe there will be porter on tap.
