  • I've not been a fan of the typical microbrewery gastropub experience, wherein food quality and value often take a back seat to the beer and to the maintenance of a faux-casual urban chic vibe (a vibe generally reflected in menu pricing). WRB, however, is an exception to this in many ways. First, the ambiance is fully unpretentious, This converted army barrack is about two-thirds brew plant and one-third taproom, and the latter is unassumingly adorned with beer bottles and related paraphernalia (the way a dorm room might be decorated, I suppose, though that comparison really doesn't do this place justice...). I won't pretend to be a beer aficionado, but I've had four of the WRB brews (Wraspberry, Wred Wheat, Brown Ale, and Velvet Fog), and have enjoyed them all enough to appreciate the hype about this local brewery. That's pretty much all I can say about the beer itself, and I likewise can't say too much about the food (since I haven't had a full meal here yet), other than that the three appetizers we shared were far better than I'd expected them to be, that the menu appeared extensive and well thought out, and that this appears to be a popular place to dine. For me, the kicker at WRB is the tour of the brew plant. I had done a few such tours prior to the one here, but I can say that, for whatever reason, this was the first time I fully grasped the brewing process in a way that left me with a greatly enhanced appreciation for what beer is and how it should be experienced. (One interesting aspect about the tour - about which I feel ambivalent - was the way that our guide, though a series of rants, played out a battle between the humble, well-meaning typical microbrewery and the malevolent large-scale industrial beer manufacturing powers, accusing the latter of various forms of unsavory and deceptive manufacturing and marketing practices. While this was entertaining, and perhaps educational to a point, it left me curious to learn more and hear the other side of the story...)
