When I booked a hotel in lil ol Paris, Illinois I was not hopeful their would be a brewery. Lo and…read morebehold I am happy that there is! Lot 50 is brewery #306 for me. Lot 50 has tables out front as well as a big space inside with a large concrete bar. I don't know what it is I like about concrete bars, but I like 'em. It wasn't very busy at 4:15 on Friday with just two couples sitting out front. I was the only one at the bar. As I was sitting at the bar I noticed there was a YUGE outdoor area off to the side. Lights and all it would be a great spot for a concert when the weather is good. Batch 59 DIPA was really nice! I may be getting inured hops but this one was really smooth. Great flavor all the way through. I think even SWPFTD would enjoy this one. Clurichaun red ale was next. I immediately wondered about the name but right there on the paper menu it said, "Named after the leprechauns drunken, mischievous cousin". I thought leprechauns were mischievous to begin with and being Irish I just assumed they were drunken! Don't get your panties in a wad and all offended, my wife is Irish and I'm Scottish. Besides, the Irish can take a joke! Anyway, this was a very good malty red ale. Stagecoach coffee blonde just didn't work for me. It's probably partially due to my favorite coffee blonde was at a brewery in my former hometown that we frequented weekly for years. You can taste nostalgia sometimes. Shoutout to Sons of Liberty Aleworks! We miss you! Anyway, this was not a bad beer at all, just not quite what I wanted. YMMV of course. The Honeybee brown ale looked more like an amber ale by color. Even by flavor I could have mistaken this for a festbier. That said I truly did enjoy it. I would order another for sure. Last beer for me...notice I said last "beer". Last beer for me was the Frosted Court St stout. A collaboration with "Frosted by Maddie". I don't know for sure what that means but I'm guessing a bakery since it mentions a stout crossed with red velvet cake. This was pretty darn good. I can't say I got the red velvet cake flavor out of it but it was a good beer. As I was hanging out at the bar, you know, doing that drinking and Yelping thing I do, I noticed they had two meads that were brewed in house as well. Sold! The Twisty Foo Orange Creamsicle mead was very tasty. I wouldn't have pegged it as "orange dreamsicle" without a hint but that might be me. Last was the Cosmic Fudge Plum Brownie mead. What do you classify that as? A melomel I guess since it has plum in it. I don't know what you call mead that is brownie flavored. If I had ever smelled and tasted a plum fudge brownie, this is EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD TASTE LIKE. That is...if it were a mead. The flavors were legit but I didn't love the mead. I like the Twisted Foo better myself. If you are in the area, stop in a Lot 50. I enjoyed it! If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

The bar is in an old historic building and the mural says the bar has been in operation for 120 years. That's a long time of weathering events such as prohibition, wars and the Great Depression. But in a small town like Brazil, you need a good bar. Inside, the bar is ancient, but tidy and comforting. I grab a seat at a high top table. Our server, Deniela, was fantastic, gave us the low down on daily specials and made a few recommendations. Water came out quickly, as did food. She checked on us regularly. I had the daily special, prime rib burrito, which was very good. The prime rib was tender and juicy. The rice was much more flavorful than the usual Tex mex rice. I loved my meal. My husband tried the breaded pork tenderloin. The breading was perfectly seasoned and the large loin was moist and tender. The bun was good, too. The hand cut chips were delicious. (I ate half his chips and could have made a meal of them.) There is street parking. I recommend a visit, but expect to be rooting for Alabama on game day. The food is delicious.

The portions are large and you won't have a need to order more. The service was fantastic! The regulars patrons were very welcoming!
