| - Southern Tier Brewing is a great space -- the garage doors open up to a fabulous Biergarten, and the interior is nothing to scoff at with its view into the actual brewery and the unique light fixtures.
The menu is classic American fare, gastropub-like. There are nachos, burgers, sandwiches, some larger plates, and about three salads.
I went with my family on a nice Spring Sunday and was expecting to receive the menu that I had looked up online before making the plans. However, when we arrived we were handled a very slim "Game Day Menu" which only included a couple options from each section of the menu, but lacking a single salad and some of the other items that I was excited about. I asked the server if we were able to order from the rest of the menu, but we were told that since apparently it was very busy the night before, and they expected to be busy today, they decided that it was a better strategic move for the kitchen if they slimmed down the menu for today. I was not amused, simply because I did that crazy thing where I had yelped the place beforehand and already picked my entree.
I ended up ordering the veggie burger, which was just okay. The texture was very crumbly, and it reminded me of falafel. The toppings that went with it were very good, though: avocado, roasted tomatoes, greens, and a yummy sauce.
At the end of the day, Southern Tier is a fabulous space, serving great beer. The food is okay, but it would be even better if they maintained their menu for consistency.
