I was a few days into my wedding trip to Karlsruhe when my withdrawals for IPAs started to kick in…read more Don't get me wrong, the Pilsners and Wheat beers of Deutschland were solid but they just didn't pack that flavor punch that I was accustomed to as found in the craft brews of the U.S. of A. In an effort to satisfy my craving for an IPA, my friend (the brother of the bride) and I hopped on the terrific Karlsruhe street trolley and headed to a craft beer bar near the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. After a walk around the block, we finally found the bar but it was closed. As if sent by God himself, our disappointed faces turned hopeful as we saw the sign for Carroll's just down the block. Could an Irish pub offer the IPA satisfaction that I so desperately desired? One look at a chalkboard near the bar and my prayers were answered: "Brooklyn Brewery East IPA, €4.50." I went to college on the East Coast, so I was stoked to see an offering by the well-respected Brooklyn Brewery that I had come to love. To find one of their quality brews all the way in Germany made things even sweeter. Amazingly, I had never enjoyed their East IPA before and as I poured it into a pint glass I was quite eager. When the hoppy liquid goodness hit my tastebuds, I was instantly back in my happy place. Yes, it was strange being in an Irish pub in Germany drinking an American craft beer. At the same time though it was just what I needed. The homeyness of Carroll's provided the perfect environment for such a random moment in my life and for that I will always be thankful. In addition, I was honoring my German and Irish ancestors at the same time in this Karlsruhe establishment, an historical 2-for-1.

After eating here, it turned into one of our favorite spots as well! The lighting was very dim and it looked like we were eating in a cave which was very cool. I loved being able to cook our meat and veggies on a grill right in front of us! It was a fun experience. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! Would highly recommend!
