| - If you're going to Four Peaks for beer, I'd say 4-5 stars, but if you're going for dinner as I was, I can't rate it higher than a 3. The beer is quite good. I've tried most of their beers, and I think Raj IPA is my favorite. The seasonal was the Pumpkin Porter and it fell a bit flat. The flavor was too mellow and overall the beer seemed too light, almost watered down.
The real reason for 3 stars was the food. Although we had some nice appetizers (pretzels with spicy cheese sauce were great, as was the Thai hummus and pita bread), but the pizzas we ordered were terrible. We ordered the margarita and the Italian. The margarita had too much garlic powder, and the Italian tomato sauce was much too sweet and overpowered the toppings.
Service can be slow when they are busy, but our waitress was friendly and pretty attentive. The dining area is enormous, and they also have some limited outdoor seating. But this is a college town dinner spot for sure, no pretensions of a high class brew-pub here.
I'll probably be back for the beer, but I hope I can find something on the menu better than those pizzas, which were truly awful!
