So I went to the Beer Research Institute because I had their "Morning Sex" stout at another local bar. I had found them on Facebook and the pictures of the food looked amazing so I took a 20 minute trip to try them. When I walked in they were pretty busy. I would have preferred a bar seat but ended up at a booth which was totally fine. The waiter was great. He was friendly and had my beer and food ready really quick. I ordered the Morning Sex instead of trying something new because it's so good. I ordered the pretzel bites and the steak chimchurri tacos. I was a little disappointed with the tacos. I tried them first without adding anything to them and the meat was pretty greasy and bland. Once I added the pico de gallo and sour cream they tasted better, but I still was not impressed. Maybe my expectations were too high?
The atmosphere was pretty cool. They brew their own beer there so you can see the giant vats. It seems like a pretty laid back place
I probably won't be back just because it is so far from me and the beer I really like is served at a bar that is close to me. If it were closer, it might be a different story.
I would suggest it if you wanted to go somewhere that had good beer and you lived close by, but I would suggest something else for dinner.
