| - I hadn't heard of Folly Brewpub until very recently. Having been to many other breweries around town, I was a little surprised by some of their rules, and that's the main reason for the 3 stars.
- They only do one flight and it consists of their 4 classic beers. No substitutions! Which is fine if it's your first time at Folly, but if you want to try any of their unique/seasonal brews you have to order a full pint. This seems to be a recent change based on the previous yelp photos. Although they no longer have the "no flights on weekends" rule.
- They don't do half pints! It's absurd to me that at a brewpub, there seems to be no way to "sample" some of the drinks. They might give you a little sample to try before ordering a pint, if you ask.... (I don't know, I didn't ask). Most pints are 16 oz ($7.50), and the flight (4 x 5oz) is $12.
Samples aside, I thought the beers were really good. I had the tasting flight of their classics, and the sour with guava. The guava was a bit strong for my taste, and I would have liked a half pint of that one, instead of a full 16 oz. The food was also very good. I shared the mac and Cheese and Fish tacos with my friend. It seems they change their menu often (based on Yelp photos), which is nice, since the menu is smaller than most restaurants. Although it seems they've expanded quite a bit over time. I think it's a great neighbourhood pub with good food, nice selection of beers (especially if you already know what you like there) and live music!
