| - We met another couple for a late lunch at Willoughby Brewing Company last Sunday, and overall it was a good experience. I don't spend much time in the neighborhood and has no idea downtown Willoughby was a "thing," but this brewery is a solid spot.
The main building was hosting a fundraiser so we ate in the covered patio outside; it was a pleasant area except for the obscenely loud TV, which they did adjust on request so we could hear each other. They have some tasty beers: I don't know that I'd want a whole pint of it but the peanut butter cup porter I tasted was interesting, and kölch was quite good. As far as food goes, the shrimp tacos were decent, if a little soggy. The pulled pork sandwich was described as "all right." The pretzel appetizer was on point though, with delicious beer cheese sauce on the side as well as a tasty whole grain mustard and oddly, a caramel sauce. Fries are everywhere, but the ones here were crispy how I like them with more flavor than most.
Service was a little weird-- we had a few people stop by instead of just one server-- but no real problems. Prices were reasonable. They share a parking lot with several other restaurants in the area and it was pretty crowded, but it's nice to have it there.
I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to make a repeat visit, but I wouldn't say no to another try if I found myself in the neighborhood.
