| - I really like this place and can't wait to check it out again when the weather improves a bit. I went during a smoke beer themed event and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of beer, the interesting ambiance, and the reasonable prices. I tried several smaller pours of their beers. The General Braddock IPA is a solid performer and my wife liked the Chai beer. The best, or at least the most interesting beer of the night was the "And then there was fire" chipotle double IPA. I think I got the name right on that one, but I may have slightly butchered it. I can only describe the feeling as "drinking a sore throat." You take a sip, then a taste of smoky flavor washes over your mouth while a warm, tingly sensation develops in the back of your throat. You think, "Man, I just felt fine a minute ago, I hope I'm not coming down with something"....and then you realize that the warming sensation is 9% ABV + capsaicin hitting your mucosa with liquid heat. At first it was almost unpleasant, but it gradually grew on me and ended up being my favorite beer of the night. Good work, Gentlemen.
