Met some friends for lunch around 12:30 on a Sunday. It was a holiday weekend, so it was super busy in town and extremely hard to find parking. We ended up parking at the maritime museum and walking to the brewery.
There are 3 separate areas in this brewery. The upstairs, which only serves pizza and beer. The downstairs pub, which has a nice variety of food items...burgers, fish and chips, chowder, salad, and sandwiches. The taproom is the third area.
We opted for the downstairs pub. You order up at the counter, get a number, and they bring your food to you. Our table ordered the poutine, seafood chowder, rockfish sandwich, oysters and chips, and the albacore fish and chips. Everything was really good! The chowder had plenty of fish and a nice flavor and thickness. The rockfish sandwich was cooked perfectly... nice and crispy outside and soft and flaky inside. Their fries were seasoned perfectly and not greasy at all. The albacore fish and chips blew everyone away! We couldn't believe how tasty the fish was, and the tartar sauce was a delicious accompaniment. We were all impressed and happy with our food and beer choices. A few were disappointed they didn't have their 3-Way IPA on tap.
Our only complaint would be the extremely long lines to order food/beers and use the restrooms. They have 2 unisex restrooms, and there was a line of at least 6-8 people at all times. The food/beer line was so long that people were lined up in the dining area, making it super awkward for customers already sitting and eating.
Overall, we enjoyed our time here. The food and drinks were good. Staff was decent. The atmosphere was fun. The restaurant was clean. Would recommend.
