BEER:
Farmer’s Blonde (3.00) – Light bodied, refreshing ale. Lightly hopped. Highly drinkable lawnmower beer.
Fevre River Ale Hefeweizen (2.50) – Light bodied wheat beer. Could use more malt character. Clove character lacking.
Thirsty Squirrel Pecan Nut Brown Ale (3.75) – Malty and sweet, caramel notes evident. Pecan flavor hard to detect.
Oktoberfest (1.50) – Thin bodied lager, severely lacking roasted character. Malty sweetness is a significant for this style and cannot be found in this beer.
Ulysses Dark Oatmeal Stout (4.00) – Bold, roasted malt character. A big and malty stout. Hop bitterness appropriate for style.
Duke of Earl Coffee Milk Stout Nitro (4.25) – Bold and dark, big beer all around. Coffee aspects shine in the forefront.
Creamy and easy to drink.
Witch’s Apple Berliner Weisse (4.50) – Fruity and sour, according to style. Hop character on the very light side, as expected. Pucker factor significant.
FOOD:
Typical pub food on the menu. They were completely out of the two pretzel appetizers on our visit.
