| - My friends and I started off with the sausage plate appetizer and the soft pretzels. The sausages were good and varied in flavor. I liked how both of the mustards that came with them were spicy, and the cabbage and pickles were delicious as well.
For out main courses we all split the herb salad, smoked pork belly, and the buckeye burger. The salad was beautifully presented, huge for the price, and nice and fresh. The smoked pork belly was perfectly accented by the cannellini beans, wilted kale, onions, and tomatoes, and all of it cooked down a bit into a smoky and flavorful sauce that made me want to lick the plate. I was hesitant about the burger, but the carmelized onions and beef paired so well with the barbeque sauce and peanut butter that I was converted, and now understand.
We had the Cleveliner Weisse, the blackberry wit and the Edmund fitzgerald. All of them were delicious, but the Weisse with it's tart sour characteristics was my favorite, and probably the best beer I've had from them.
This is a solid restaurant and brewery, but the waitstaff seemed stretched pretty thin and service was pretty slow.
