  • For some reason, my original review of The Piglet (Blind Pig Brewery) got merged with The Blind Pig Company down the road. Obviously the same owners, and institutions in Champaign. I guess both where done on 9/18/2012. Anyway... One of my all time favorite breweries. If you like the original Blind Pig, then you will no doubt love this place. It looks the same, and has the same wood work as the original. With an old barn look and lots of dark wood. The wood is taken from a 200 year old barn and antique tables. A relatively small and centrally located bar in front of the taps, the bar back is over 150 years old as well. The area has a couple of tables out front, and a great beer garden out back. Character oozes out of every wood poor here. Really laid back and relaxing. The service is good. The bar tenders know their stuff, and are usually quick. Sometimes it takes a little to get noticed. The house beers are great. Now 5+ is the norm. What has always amazed me about this brewery is the ability to make fantastic and true to style old world beers, and then other times make fantastic "innovative" beers that match the tastes of all the hyped stuff going on. I mean hardly any brewery in the country does session beers..which is below 4% ABV as well as here. Just a couple of old world classics would be...Zwickel Pils (tell me how many breweries to an unfiltered PIls, and one this good to boot), Ordinary Bitter...yes ordinary in every way except probably the best session beer made in the States, maybe the newly remade Uber Weizen...one of the best pale Weizenbock's this side of Vitus. More adventurous you say, well how about barleyines, DIPA's, Brett Saisons, and anything else they come up with. About the only thing I wish they would do would be traditional cask beers. Ordinary Bitter on cask would be even more divine. You can't beat a quality brewpub, and this one is excellent. Very fresh and always enjoyable. It blows away anything in the area, and it is not even close. Destihl is too cookie cutter, with no character at all, and boring, Triptych is just not that good. Really, one of my favorite brewpubs I have been to, regardless of location. I can't recommend this place enough.
