| - Wow. This place is amazing. As soon as Aj S. told me about this place, I KNEW I had to check it out ASAP! I finally had the chance to check it out and was blown away completely! First of all, I love that it is located in Braddock. Not only because it's an easy 15 minute drive from my house, but it's one of the many new businesses in Braddock that is helping to bring new light to the neighborhood. I was also excited to see that there was a parking lot as well- ALWAYS a plus!
I am absolutely in love with every single thing about this place. I love the atmosphere, the entire vibe you get when you walk in, the décor, the brick wall, the fact there was a dog just hanging out in the brewery, the idea of the bartenders wearing suits--it was all so unique and fun!
They don't have a kitchen, but food trucks are there almost every single day. We went on an evening when the Pittsburgh Taco Truck was there- we just ordered them and took them right in the brewery, sat down and ate them before even ordering a beer (I didn't want the tacos affecting my taste buds while trying all of their beer for the first time, lol). What's so cool about this idea of food trucks- they have different food all of the time!! I checked out their site and saw that Blowfish BBQ often comes to The Brew Gentlemen, and sometimes they even have food truck round ups, where multiple food trucks come at one time. I am SO excited about coming back here to try more food trucks and drink AMAZING beer..
Now, about the beer... WOW. Every time I visit a brewery, or try multiple beers from the same brewery in general, there's typically always a few that I don't like and a few that I love. Every single beer that I tried at The Brew Gentlemen I LOVED. Here are the ones that were on tap when I visited that I had the opportunity to try:
Overgrowth- this is one of their spring releases and I attended the day it was released officially. WOW. It was by far my favorite beer out of all of them. It basically tasted like a hoppy wheat ale and was PACKED with flavor. I had two samples of this one, it was the best! 5/5
Prototype 2- a blonde coffee ale. Let me start off by saying, I don't like coffee. The only way I will drink it is if it's iced and mixed with lots of sugar and cream. I LOVED this beer! It smelled and tasted like light coffee and was almost mocha tasting to me. It was so unique and just unbelievably good. 4.5/5
Nelson Saison Ale- so refreshing and light yet packed with delicious flavor. There were hints of lemon and orange- perfect for summer! They had this in bottles, so I made sure to purchase one before I left! 5/5
White Sky- the chai wheat ale! I read tons of reviews about this one and could not wait to try this unique flavored beer! It did NOT disappoint! It was the PERFECT fall beer- perfect amount of spice and flavor. Super tasty and different. I really enjoyed it. 4.5/5
Build and Destroy- a really really dark wheat ale. What a crazy unique idea! Such a good flavor, this seemed to be my boyfriend's favorite. 4.5/5
General Braddock IPA- for an IPA, this was exceptionally smooth, the perfect combination of malt and hops. It was everything you could want in an IPA. 4.5/5
I loved that the screens above the bar not only displayed what beers they had on tap, but the glass it came in, what kind of beer it was and the percentage. It made choosing which beers I wanted to try super easy! The sample glasses were adorable, ranged from $2-2.50 a glass and each glass was 5 oz. Super reasonable!
The service was excellent, the beer was perfect, the bar is gorgeous... this place is awesome! I left with a bottle of beer to take home, two glasses and a t-shirt.
I am in love with this place and cannot wait to come back!
