| - Went on a mini brewery crawl this weekend stopping at Birdsong, Heist, and finishing with dinner at Growlers Pourhouse. But the first stop of the day was the newly opened Triple C Brewing Co.
Located in the Historic Southend area, Triple C is fairly easy to find, but does blend in with the other nondescript industrial type buildings in the area. I think they have chosen a good location, as this area is in the process of being revitalized.
The taproom is fairly spacious and well laid out, with a couple of TVs on the walls (but not so many as to be distracting). There is a large window where you can see the brewhouse from the tap room.
The service was pretty good, the servers checked on us often and made sure that our glasses never ran dry. They seemed to have a rudimentary knowledge of the beers, and were very friendly.
They had five beers on tap when we went (pale ale, IPA, Smoked Amber Ale, Double IPA, and a Blonde Ale). The beers were good for the most part. I usually like the IPA's and IIPA's but in this case I found the Blonde and the Smoked Amber to be the best beers of the day. Unfortunately, I was not terribly impressed by their hoppy offerings (Pale Ale, IPA, IIPA), They seemed to be fairly one dimensional, and the hops were all bittering with no real hop flavor coming through. Not that any of them were bad, just none of them wowed me.
They do not serve any food, but there was a food truck there so that was nice.
Overall, I really enjoyed the place and would definitely come back again. and again. and again...
