Nice little brewery in downtown Quakertown. My wife and I were visiting from San Diego and my family took us out promising that this was the hippest spot in Q-Town and I can confirm that. While it doesn't really hold a candle to San Diego's brewery scene, it's about as good as a small town brewery can be.
We went on a Monday night and the dining room was deserted aside from one other couple. The bar was about half full and had 8-10 TVs showing various sports.
Our group, who aren't especially inclined to partake in libations, ordered only the stout and Cider Flight amongst us. The ciders were good, the Cherry Pie Cider stood out as the best of the flight.
For appetizers we ordered the pretzel basket, the BBQ pork Mac and cheese, and onion rings. The onion rings were nothing special; the BBQ Mac and Cheese was out-friggin-standing and could easily be ordered as an entree (my mom [a light eater] ordered it as an entree and had leftovers). The pretzel basket was a bit disappointing mix of soft pretzel bits and just thin pretzels (probably an appetizer meant for two); it came with three dips, one was stone ground mustard and another was spicy brown mustard (seemed superfluous) but for only $4 it's understandable, (just order one for every two people in your party).
For dinner was had:
-Cheeseburger: good
-Meatlover's burger: not especially flavorful
-No Soul burger: very spicy, has spicy sauce on top and bottom bun, didn't need both, IMO
-Cheesesteak Grinder: good, basic
-BBQ Mac and Cheese: still amazing
-Buffalo Burger: flavorful, a little heavy on bleu cheese
-Chicken Finger basket (our a kid): one of best I've seen; four huge, delicious chicken tenders, easily enough for an adult and only $7
Criticisms:
-it's 2016, who's still putting iceberg lettuce on pub burgers? Arugula, spinach, or spring mix would class up the burgers another notch.
-the fries came with a brown sugar type seasoning that made them oddly sweet. No one at our table thought the seasoning was an improvement on regular salted fries.
-had to ask twice for plates to split up appetizers and more napkins, kind of annoying especially since there were only two tables occupied (though is assume the server was covering the bar tables as well) and the server suggested the little plates in the first place!
All-in-all, a very solid effort at modern brewery chic and very, very reasonably priced (the craft brews regular prices are better than happy hour prices I'm used to). Will certainly add it to the rotation when I'm back visiting in the future.
