| - So I finally got to visit the Phoenix Ale Brewery. The reason has always been that they close at 7, and usually I am not in this neck of the woods at that particular hour. But I will have to from now on.
Positive
I think the selection of beer is quite nice. I have barely scratched the surface, of the probably dozen plus brews that they serve. Very nice I think. They have Pale Ales, Hefeweizen, flavored wheat Ale, a porter, unfiltered Ale... yes, the spread is fair and diverse. The brew is why I would come back.
Negative
There isn't much mystical, cool ambiance here - but then again people come for the brew and not for the the whole experience. I also would love to see longer business hours, but that is a decision from the people that run this establishment and I respect that. But it IS why I haven't been here earlier.
Summary
I should have tried the taster flight, but I didn't know they had one. But the favorite of the evening was the Fretzys Hefeweizen - it is something I could come back for, but I want to go through their whole selection, of course. As this is not an establishment that I would frequent as a cozy water-hole, but I will most definitely come back here to sample new brews.
A glass growler with brew for $15, not bad. There will be a few PAB growlers in my home in the future.
