So last night SWMBO and I went to the new Granite City in our area for a couple drinks and dinner. We got there to a modest 15 minute wait, not bad-we went to the bar to wait. I ordered their Bock, and SWMBO tried the Light Lager. I drank the Bock- Not bad, but not great. It was just kind of like a plain-Jane representation of the style. The same went for the Light Lager. I thought I would try their stout out as well, but yet again it was your typical almost oatmeal stout. At 5 bucks a beer I felt like it was money wasted.
All in all I was disapointed with their brews--To add to that they dont even brew on site. They have a brewhouse in Iowa that ships the wort to their locations to be fermented. Meh.
I hope Im not the only one who feels this way about GC.......:cross:
I will say though the food made up for it, I had a bleu cheese burger and SWMBO got the walleye, and they were both great.
