Craft brewery combined with fru fru food - I'm in! I tried a few of their beers and the memorable beer was the Elise Saison. Now, I typically do not like Saisons and I've tried quite a few but I sampled my husband's Saison from Spoonwood and it was delicious! It had a slight floral aftertaste which I didn't mind at all. Most saisons I've tried tend to be weak and remind me of miller lite but Spoonwood's definitely stood out with unique twist to a lighter style beer.
I also had the Taffy Gruffudd Welsh Ale and it had a caramely/toffey flavor which worked well as the last beer of the night for me - dessert as a beer is what I'm talking about!
We ordered food as well and I was somewhat surprised at the food options as they seemed a bit non-traditional for a brewery...I mean they had goat cheese people! I had the polenta triangles as a main dish as we had shared the cheese plate as an appetizer. I was very pleased with the polenta triangles with goat cheese and felt like it was somewhat sophisticated for a brewery but it worked. My husband and our friend had pizzas and from what they told me they were very good.
We didn't have too many issues with the service, once in a while we had to wave our or a random server to get a refill but we felt that the quality of beer/food made up for the fact that they weren't super attentive. We came here on a Friday around 7:00 PM and the parking lot was packed, so much so that we had to create our own space.
If you're in the Bethel Park suburb you should definitely check this place out. I'm glad that I got a chance to try it out and I'm looking forward to going back again.
