Logs for this venue

Tasty, just a hint of cherry. No toasty, nutty though.
Draft
This is a solid Czech pils.
Draft
I fear I didn't notice much of it
Bottle
Light lagery, slight bitterness, basically what you expect from the type. This is clearly what the old macrobrews came from.
Draft
Actually tastes a little barrel aged, which makes it interesting. But not too offensive to my taste.
Draft
I think I stand by my last rating.
Draft
Sweet and spiced, honestly I think the beer base might be really good, but I don't really like the perfumed spice on top of it.
Draft
Delicious, sour, and beautiful.
Draft
Refreshing, slightly tart, though with the dry flat bitterness at the back.
Draft
Nice malty, caramel flavor.
Draft
Nice mild, flavorful pale. It's like an IPA that I enjoy drinking. :-)
Draft
I really like this. Somewhat sweet, but not overly sweet, with this roasted nut shell flavor that I really think complements it.
Can
Smooth, but overly so. It's like cherries blended into some sort of milk cream. Honestly I don't like it
Draft
Very light, almost lager like. But with this is bitter after taste, which is really a lot like dirty water.
Draft
Harsh, rough. Like they say, a strong ale. There's an almost pucker in there, but it's overwhelmed.
Draft
Spicy, a little bit of hard candy.
Draft
Blech! It's like dirty water that has had a bit of peach flavoring added. Flavoring that might have already expired. That was terrible!
Draft
Sour, with a light, open, almost sweet taste. I really like this.
Draft
Nice, smooth, milk stout, with the sweetness perfectly balancing the bitterness. I feel like I've I could accidentally drink a lot of this.
Nitro Draft
Sweet, with some sort of vegetable flavor that I can't place. I don't really like it. There's also a lot of floral flavor, which had to be pointed out to me. I don't think I log well eight beers in.
Draft
This is very sweet, more like a shandy than a pilsner with a hint of lime. I think it's fine, so long as you're going in expecting a sweet pseudo-beer.
Draft
Open flavor, with a good balance between sweet and bitter. Probably sweeter than a purist would appreciate, but I really like this.
Draft
Sour, but with hints of bitterness and funk. And something like rhubarb? This is exceptionally interesting, butt I'm not sure I could drink a lot of it.
Draft
Sweet and sour, like a prune. This is very tasty.
Draft
Light, slightly spicy, very refreshing.
Draft
Tastes more like a weisse than a sour, mixed with some fake fruit flavoring. I honestly wouldn't recommend it.
Draft
An interesting combination of cider and coffee. I actually rather like this balance.
Draft
Very sweet cider.
Draft
Kind of bitter-tart it's not terrible or anything.
Draft
Sweet, almost soda-y. A little bit of old hard candy taste. I'm not a fan.
Draft
More of a roasty stout, with very good flavor.
Draft
Smooth, slightly sweet with a building flavor of coffee.
Draft
Decent, sort of fruity mouth feel without much fruity taste. Hints coriander and spice.
Draft
Apparently this is really just ebles weisse. I still like it better.
Draft
Mild for a sour.
Draft
Sadly I don't remember what this was like. I'm guessing it was neither terrible nor awesome
Draft
Very fruity and syrupy.
Draft
More thin and almost barrel aged than I expected. Not terrible, but nothing that I'd ever have again.
Draft
A tasty raspberry beer.
Draft
Wow, this is tasty! Coriander spice and sweet, well balanced. Really good.
Draft
All the lemony grapefruit of an IPA, but without the bitterness. Not bad.
Draft
The blond I was with said it was so cute, tastes just like fruit juice.
Draft
More fruity or . . . I can't actually remember the type I'm thinking of. Tracey calls it a "feet beer".
Draft
Tasty, complex stout with coffee and fruit notes.
Draft
At first it is okay. You even get a hint of stout between the initial hit of raspberry and the overwhelming wave of raspberry cough syrup.
Draft
Slight scent of pineapples. But bitter like a pils. Like a pils infused pinapple.
Draft
More bitter than I expected, but still sour. I really like it.
Draft
Standard Oktoberfest. Kind of Mediocre.
Draft
Fascinating. It's like drinking water at first as all the flavor is at the back of the throat. A flavor which is sort of sour/musky like a hint of rotting leaves. Which might sound terrible, but is actually very interesting.
Draft
Fruit is pretty mild and it's actually fairly bitter. Basically, okay.
Draft
The Bruery Tart of Darkness (unknown release)
This is very tart, which normally would be bad, but you happened to catch me in a transitional period. So like Sam Jackson, I'm gonna go easy on this.
Draft
Little hoppy for my taste but decent
Draft
Gah!!! Someone poured used coffee grounds into my beer .
Draft
Um this really needs some cream and sugar or something
Draft
It seems less like an IPA. Very bitter, but this hard Carmel flavor that makes me think of barrel aged .I don't really get the juice of the hop .Bleh.
Draft
So I'm not normally into light hoppy beers, but this one has a nice mouth feel and the hoops are nice and pine needley and grassy. Comes together well.
Draft
Raspberry. If almost think this was a cider except for am undertone that I guess is its claim to the beer family. And the fact that it looks like an Amber ale rather than a cider.
Nitro Draft
Ok so the problem here is that i want a stout to be smooth and dark and roasty and woody. Brooding if you will. The addition of fruit while innovative just seems too different, it changes the character, the whole point, of a stout.
Draft
The cherry is just a subtle modulation of the stouty character of this beer .It ends up tasting sweeter, but still with a roasty stoutish flavor. But honestly, a stout purist would not like this. As I get further down the glass, I'm getting more of this sour cherry taste that does not go as well with a stout .
Draft
I'm in a fruity mood tonight and this is nice and fruity. Not too over the top, maybe the nitro smooths it out.
Nitro Draft
The Bruery Tart of Darkness (unknown release)
This time it seems more classically sour than tart .Roy says it's very barrel aged, but I'm not noticing it . Also, Jet got a pour and shared, and his was totally tart like the first time I had this .So apparently it's totally variable .Which is weird .
Draft
This is almost identical to the 5% It just tastes a little more syrupy.This is also a little flatter. Which might be contributory.
Draft
This is more malty than I'd expect . There is a little more to this than I'd expect, a hint of spiceor something .
Draft
Standard dry coriander-dominant saison, avoids being musty. My palate was still a little messed up from a mystery beer no one could identify that tasted like Chinese medicinal herbs. There's a claim that this had tamarind in it, but who knows?
Draft
I seem to remember liking this more. It feels understated, maybe it's because of the spicy food I've had.
Draft
Caramel ale, slightly thinner in texture than expected, with a nutty, grassy finish. Definitely wears its alcohol content on its sleeve, both in fragrance and flavor, but all of its other flavors are robust enough to match it. One to sip slowly.
Draft
Hops first and foremost, with the fresh, fragrant flavor of a dry-hopped pale. Then, a sharp turn to very dry tartness. It's a nice juxtaposition, and definitely intriguing.
Draft
Smells strongly of raspberries. The flavor is surprisingly sweet, almost too much so, but mellows out very quickly into nitro smoothness and a breakfast cereally sweet finish (I thought... streusel? corn pops in milk?). Never allowed to get tart, the flavor is very much along the lines of a raspberry bar.
Nitro Draft
An Imperial Milk IPA? I had to try this, and it was actually really interesting and pretty tasty too. Starts with a strong IPA flavor tending towards pine and resin, and you can feel the hint of strong bitterness starting to form, but then the milk sugar appears and basically neutralizes it. Creamy, semisweet finish.
Draft
The milk sugar makes the ipa mild But for me it's just Kind of meh.
Draft
Moderately hoppy with some of the flavor overtones of an IPA, But mild and with an undertone of a sour . Dry, mild, and complex.
Draft
Quite raspberry. I thinkit's tasty, though there is not as much tartness as one might expect. I think the sweetness it moderating it .
