| - Ok. I'm giving 4 stars because I am hopeful that the whole establishment will earn them at some point. Right now, the Brewery gets 4+ and the restaurant gets less.
Eric is a good brewer with imagination. The narrator's voice of the beer menu is kinda weird, allegedly preferring few words, yet offering decent descriptions of the beers. There's good stuff going on here, I wish it was a bit cheaper, but I don't feel ripped off for what you get. The flights are way overpriced though.
I met the Butcher (or is it just "butcher"? why no definite article for THE butcher?), Rex, who seems like a knowledgeable good dude who is doing great things with sourcing their meats from quality farms and using whole animals. Cool.
The food from the restaurant is nice. However, small plates are the worst. They're $7-12 and you have to order 3 to not walk out hungry. Too much money. Too little food. Restaurants should stop pretending small plates are cool. They're just a way to rip off the diner. Boo.
So where does this leave us??? It's high time E4 got a brewery, and it's high time Cleveland got a brewery doing some of the weirder, Belgian inspired stuff that Eric is doing. It's high time we got a meat shop that legitimately sources their animals well. However, no one anywhere needs those damn "small plates." Ahhh
