We popped in to the highly anticipated Godspeed brewery last night for a couple beers.
First impression is that the place is HUGE. Lots of open space and purdy to look at. Nice little patio area in the front.
There was a lot of hype around this place, considering the brewmaster use to work at the famed Dieu du Ciel brewery in Montreal.
You wouldn't have known it.
They had four beers on the menu last night: an IPA, a stout, a dortmunder, and a smoked saison. The highlight was the stout. Very similar to the delicious St. Ambroise oatmeal stout. The IPA however was a total disappointment. Very mild hops and just lifeless. Done more in the vein of a British style IPA, which is fine, but very uninspired batch here. The other two beers were okay, but not particularly memorable.
We didn't try the food, but the menu was...odd. Expensive Japanese small plates? At a brewery?
Hope things improve as they settle in.
