I stopped by here 2 Sundays ago with my wife and her parents for lunch. We headed to Insurrection Ale works because we were looking for a brewery with food and I have had it bookmarked in Yelp for a long time. It's located right on the Main Street in Heidelberg and so it was easy to find. We headed in through the main door and went down a few steps to get into the brewery. While walking down a hall to the dining room we could see some of their brewing equipment off to right. The dining room itself consisted of a bar and an area which I am going to say used to be a patio but is now enclosed with plastic. They have heat lamps for whenever it's cold and I imagine they can open some of it up whenever it's warm in the summer.
As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to have a flight here. The only problem with that is that they didn't necessarily have flights although they do have 5 oz tasters that you can order. So I ended up making my own flight by ordering 4 of the 5 oz tasters. The beers I chose were the panama red (hoppy red ale), total stealth (IPA), double secret (DIPA) and Springs in the floor (APA). Out of the bunch I liked the Panama Red the most due to the brightness the hops brought the red ale and then liked the Springs in the floor the least. For my entree I ordered one of their specials for the day which was the short rib confit taco. The menu said it was short rib braised in rendered duck fat and their pale ale topped with fire roasted pineapple slaw, hot pepper relish, Romano and Parmesan cheese. Our food here took quite awhile to get to us. Our server actually came back and confirmed our order about 10 minutes after we had put in it to begin with and then after a somewhat long wait my wife's food was about 5 minutes behind the rest of the tables. It didn't bother us as we were busy sharing vacation pictures but they still took care of us without us saying anything about it. In any case I thought that my tacos were delicious. The meat was moist and tender while the pineapple added some sweetness and the relish gave it a nice and spicy kick. For someone like myself it was quite the well conceived dish as it ticked off the savory, sweet and spicy boxes.
The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Even though the food took quite awhile to get to us I found it to be really good and their beers decent as well.
