Still
great
twenty
years
later:
five
full
stars.
I
used
to
come
here
all
the
time
when
I
was
in
college
between
1996-2000.
My
wife
and
I
were
back
in
the
area
for
my
birthday,
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
not
only
is
this
amazing
brewpub
just
as
great
as
it
was
over
twenty
years
ago,
it's
actually
even
better.
I
had
the
Expedition
Elk
burger
with
fries,
which
was
a
hand-pattied
1/2
lb
elk
burger
cooked
perfectly
to
my
request
of
medium
rare.
The
burger
tasted
so
good
you
could
have
it
by
itself
and
not
complain
but
it
was
loaded
with
a
scintillatingly
scrumptious
coffee-bacon
jam,
a
really
great
black
garlic
aioli
&
white
cheddar.
If
they
gave
me
a
bowl
of
just
that
coffee-bacon
jam
I'd
probably
eat
it.
I
paired
it
with
the
Irish
Stout,
a
nitro
stout
that
was
a
beautiful
example
of
the
style.
Very
much
like
Guinness
but
with
more
forward
chocolate
notes.
Very
creamy
head
with
a
silky
mouth
feel.
I
wanted
to
try
another
style
so
I
also
had
the
Real
Hef'n
Good
hefeweizen.
Very
fruity
hef,
which
I
really
like.
You
can
definitely
taste
the
Hallertau
Blanc
hops
with
a
piney,
grassy
flavor
but
I
also
got
a
lot
of
fruity
notes
with
banana
and
citrus
as
fairly
prominent.
Not
sweet
but
very
well
balanced
and
refreshing.
Was
particularly
good
with
the
fries
and
a
good
organic
ketchup.
My
wife
had
a
JR's
Jumbo
Deluxe
with
a
fried
egg,
bacon
and
cheddar
which
was
also
cooked
perfectly
to
her
request
of
a
medium,
with
clam
chowder
and
a
root
beer.
She
was
also
wowed
by
the
quality
of
the
burger.
The
clam
chowder
was
good
but
the
celery
in
it
was
a
little
jarring.
We're
kinda
chowder
purists
though
so
take
that
with
a
grain
of
salt.
All
in
all,
a
fantastic
dining
experience.
Cozy
pub
with
a
look
and
feel
that
hasn't
really
changed
much
in
two
decades
but
that's
not
a
criticism.
One
of
my
top
fifteen
favorite
restaurants
anywhere.
