| - I was back here over the holidays and I feel like I really needed to update this review to distinguish my previous rating about the food and the beer. First off, once again I tried several of their beers. Their rotating stout was a chocolate-mint and I found the mint flavor absolutely undesirable. I also tried a seasonal brown and was thoroughly disappointed. However, they did have a bottle-only IPA (the Thunderhop) that was drinkable. But once again, I would rate the beer 2 or 3 stars.
However, the food was absolutely phenomenal. We started with the hummus (good) and the spinach, feta, and smoked Gouda dip (phenomenal). Then for my lunch, I had, literally, the best French onion soup of my life. For anyone that makes it to the Church Brew Works I cannot say enough that you MUST TRY THE FRENCH ONION SOUP. I also tried the nontraditional pierogies, which, were a green chile, cheddar and chorizo. These too were excellent.
So overall, the beer is a bust but the atmosphere and food make this place worth of a rating bump.
