| - Came here on a trip through the Phoenix (1 of about 6 breweries we tried). I had high expectations from this place based on word of mouth and seeing their reviews.
We had the flying belgian pig in beer cheese (beer cheese and pork covered fries). The Fries were a little on the burned side, the pork was tender but not full of flavor, and the beer cheese was almost non-existent. The size of the dish was great, but the amount of cheese covered *maybe* 20% of the fries. Once you picked through the top layer, you were left with dry, overcooked fries with no cheese. Kind of disappointing.
We also had a flight of all their beers on tap, which included the Little Guy Rye, Saddle Mountain Saison, Superstition Coffee Stout, and the Chiricahua Common (they had just blown one of the kegs so there were only 4 options available at the time. This isn't a bad since that happens all the time and I get it, just a note as to why I only tried 4). I didn't hate any of them, but I also didn't love any. I love sours and the Chiricahua Common was one of the most unique/funky/interesting beers I've ever had. There were many flavors present, but I felt like they were competing with each other rather than complementing each other. Just something a little "off" to me, hard to put into words. The Superstition was my favorite of the bunch...if it was a little more viscous and maybe a little more heavy on the coffee flavor, I would have loved it. Overall a solid beer, but fell just a little short for me.
I can't say the brewrey lived up to the expectations I had, but then again it wasn't a bad experience at all.
