| - Going to breweries has sort of become our thing. My wife and I have probably been to about 15 or so in the last couple of months. I honestly don't think we've had a better experience than the one we had at Bad Tom Smith tonite.
We sat down on some comfy chairs by the front window expecting to have a beer and leave. Well that didn't happen.......
They had flights for only $5, I suppose for happy hour. The beers were good, but that's not the most important thing for me, the character is what counts in my book. The owner and operations manager actually came by and sat down and talked to us for almost a half an hour. It was so fun hearing their story and picking their brains a little bit.
We found out that once a month, they let a home-brewer use their equipment to produce a beer, and then put it on tap. They had a shindig going on while we were there where a Home brewer named Jordan was debuting his smoked porter, and it was really fun to be able to order it at the bar. How cool is that!
I know this may be weird, but I loved their menu. I'm a details guy, as are most people who are into Yelp I suppose? Each beer has a dedicated page on the menu where it explains the taste, gives the statistics such as IBU, etc., and has a write up about the history behind the name, and how/why they chose to brew that style.
I can't wait to bring friends here.
