Where else can you go to get dinner at 10:55 pm and still get served a real meal? The Brewery of course. We sat down with 5 minutes to spare before the kitchen closed. The Brewery has improved over the years. It’s almost always loud and service CAN be hit or miss, but their vegetarian options have increased over the years and lately, they’ve had a lot more creative dining options than you’d expect from a brewery. On this last visit, I had a new mushroom melt sandwich that was really good. It sort of reminded me of a french dip but with mushrooms, not meat. Weird but true.

The best beer in town… Open late for food… A solid menu. What more can I say? The beer choices change regularly, and are listed on several chalkboards around the restaurant. There is a sampler you can get if you aren’t sure which beer is for you. Ten beers served in three-ounce glasses are brought to you on a wooden paddle. For vegetarians, the baba ganoush and hummus appetizer is tasty, but for me the spicy, curried Prince Edward Island mussels are the best appetizer. You can’t go wrong with the pulled pork sandwich, burgers and other sandwiches, though I’m not a huge fan of their mini pizzas. The specials are usually quite good. But the beer, concocted by brewmaster Tod Mott, is the main attraction.
