This looked so promising, the building is full of charm, and steeped in history.
The decor inside was kept simple, which I certainly appreciated.
The only fault on the decor I found was behind the bar upstairs was very sterile looking and not pleasing to the eye.
But everywhere else was nicely done.
The staff were nice but seemed somewhat inexperienced, which is totally acceptable.
But the beers left a lot to the imagination.
They hop beers were too hoppy. Which I know some people like, but others don't... and I tried 4 altogether.
The wine list is very limited, which, even though its a brewing company, people go to places like that with friends that are not beer drinkers, and considering they are in the heart of wine country, that should really be expanded on.
We got the cheese plate which was messy, boring and predictable.
With such amazing surroundings, you expect originality with things like cheese plates in a brewery of this stature.
But as with all my reviews, they are merely my thoughts and opinions... but this place could be so much more, with not too much effort.
Get more wines in.
Get some good cheeses, goats, sheeps, dont stick to the predictable plates, you are not a predictable building... let the building dictate your originality, and steer your menu.
