It was an absolute delight to hang with the folks at the brewery and got some training for Murphy as well. H.O.P. Institute #3: A Double IPA hopped with Riwaka, Anchovy, and Mosaic. Some of my favorite IPAs. Another Neon Sunset: A Hazy IPA that they have brewed before, but this time it has a brand new hop bill featuring Citra and Nectaron. BA It From the Pit '26: The meaning for the trip, an English Style Barleywine that was aged for not one, not two, but THREE years in Willett Bourbon Barrels. An absolute treasure of a beer. Banana Cream Pie Sour: A Fruited Sour with loads of Banana and Vanilla. It's thick, it's decadent, and it's delicious. ________

It was a Tuesday night and the place wasn't too busy so I sat at the bar. Delaney was a delight, made some great recommendations. Not pictured was the Wisconsin ale which was really good & the tomato bisque with the baguettes was a home-run. I enjoyed the crisp of the bacon and the flavor of the burger. Had a nice crisp and the chipotle with the onion ring & bacon went extremely well together. I loved how the fries were warm and crunchy. It didn't lack flavor either. They have many beers on tap along with bottled beer. I loved seeing customers 'Spin the wheel' as they drank whatever the number the wheel landed on. This is a great spot to visit if you're in town for work or visiting. The locals have a nice place here.

The Shitty Lyte beer I expected to taste like a regular domestic... had a little..something to it, I can't describe it, but a little punch. Jenna was attentive and funny my whole visit despite the bar filling up w customers. All the customers were equally as funny as we all talked and joked. Don't skip past Pearl Street and your directions are correct when it reads to take a left in to what looks like an apartment parking lot... you go the short distance past that to Pearl Street. I liked that the brewery really covered your palate with light to hoppy to malty and flavorful. I really enjoyed the Siberian Disco Toasted Stout and Java Lava Coffee Stout. I also enjoyed my Old Fashioned, they have a menu of cocktails as well. I definitely won't be waiting another four years for my third stop in to Pearl Street. Thanks Jenna for an afternoon of delicious beer over laughter and brewery styles and beers, cheers!

Dinner was really good overall and good wine list and service. Soups and salad all came out with the meals and the salad is massive! Breakfast service was a bit uneven, but food came out fast and was very good. Love that they have reasonably priced breakfast options. I got the Dynamite Chicken Sandwich. It was good, but I expected more of a blast of flavor. My wife got the Cranberry Pork chop and said it was amazing! Great Brussels Sprouts on the side. Her side salad was huge and very fresh. My daughter got the Bourbon Salmon and loved it as well. Her side was Wild Rice Soup that was also amazing. For breakfast my wife and I both got 2 eggs and toast. They were very good. They do drown the toast in butter. So be ready for that! Overall we had good experiences and would gladly go back.

This review focuses on a product that City Brewery brews for nationwide distribution. It is…read moreRockdale Light Beer. It seems to be primarily sold in Walmart Supercenters. I admit that there is this uptight component of the constitution that makes me the unique person that I am. Whether it be after a hard day of working my backside off, time spent in traffic, or whatever life throws in my path; I prefer to unwind with a bullet beer. In beer parlance a bullet beer is a 24 ounce can or 32 ounce bottle. My bullet beer of choice is Bud Ice and Miller High Life. However, on the days when I shop at a Walmart Supercenter that has run out of my bullet beer of choice there is usually the City Brewery brewed Rockdale Light on their shelf. Following Walmart's mantra of "Save money and Live Better," it currently goes for $1.26 a can. This is the exact price that a 25 ounce Bud Ice cost a few years back. Taste: How does a 24 ounce of light beer taste that costs $1.25 nearly half the price of Miller Light at $2.17? The key word is" light." " Light" beer is the equivalent of diet soda. In my opinion the taste of the City Brewery brewed Rockdale Light is at the halfway point of vomit (as in Earthquake beer or Hurricane) and cream (Corona and Heinekin). It is without a doubt drinkable. I appreciate that it does not have a strong taste. The taste is lemony, in my humble opinion. Influence on the brain: Disparite from strong beer such as Bud Ice or Steel Reserve, Rockdale Light has a very subtle influence on me when I drink it. I feel in control. It doesn't leave me drowsy or slightly buzzed like some of the strong bullet beer does. Again, this is a light beer. However I would not get behind the wheel or write a review under its subtle influence. It is a subtle influence that relaxes me while I visit the cyber world through the computer, listen to a podcast, enjoy music, or other form of enjoyment. It is hard to believe that it has a 4.2 alcohol content. Final words: Rockdale Light is not my beer of choice. However when the Walmart Supercenter runs out of my bullet beer of choice, the 24 ounce Rockdale Light has been the right plan B. At $1.26 price point, Walmart shoppers might need a "plan c" when I buy it out. Buying it out is an exaggeration. Nevertheless, I will buy a couple. It is nice to have a can or two of bullet beer in the fridgein case I run out or had a really rotton day where I could use two bullet size light beers. In conclusion, Rockdale Light is a 3 star light beer that gets the job done.

I was driving through this time on my way to Chicago and stumbled upon Fork & Fable Crafthouse. Wow. Just wow. From the outside it was pretty unassuming and after walking through the outdoor seating area to go inside to the host stand, we opted to go back out and grab a table outside since it was beautiful. The inside of the restaurant looked a little like a sports bar from what I saw and the outdoor space was small, but had four nice tables with umbrellas. I wish I could remember our server's name because she was one of the managers for the front of house and was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and attentive. These brussels sprouts were unlike any I have ever had. They were deliciously crispy, like I have had before, but these also came with grapes, candied pecans, whipped feta cheese topped with an olive oil and a hot maple drizzle. The Ahi tuna salad was pretty straightforward, but they elevated it with a seaweed salad on top of the greens and it came with a house made wasabi vinaigrette that packed such a delicious punch. My only regret was coming here for lunch on a road trip so I couldn't indulge on one of their craft cocktails because they sounded amazing. Before I left, I got to chat with the owners and they were great guys. It definitely reinforced the need to support local businesses like this that are doing it well. I appreciated the whole experience and I hope I get an opportunity to come back again soon.
