On this weekend’s trip we went to
The Ipswich Brewery.
It’s funny out of the four of us I
am the only real beer drinker, so this place was perfect for me.
Because it is a brewery they have
a good list of different beers to try and they serve them in flights.
Again great for me.
I started with the Classic Flight
that included:
Original Ale
IPA
Route 101
Oatmeal
Stout
All were good but the Original Ale and
the Route 101 is the two I liked best out of this flight.
Next I went with the Ipswich Ruby
Red IPA. This was good medium body beer with a nice flavor.
The wife got the No Bite Flight
that included:
iBelge
Cream Ale
Blueberry Shandy
Cranberry Beret
She liked the Cranberry but I
enjoyed the iBelge most out of this flight.
Ok now for the food:
Overall the food was ok. Standard
pub food, but you go there for the beer 1st.
We had the Pot Roast Poutine
(crispy fries, shredded beef brisket, Pineland Farms cheddar curds and brown
gravy).
We could have or should have order
another one and had this as our meal. This was excellent and without a doubt
the best part of the meal.
For our main meal I had the
Brewer’s Burger. This is a standard chargrilled angus 8oz, burger and includes
shredded lettuce, tomato, sliced red onion and cheese and fries.
This was a good burger, not great
but good. (They did over cook it)
The wife ordered the Fish and
Chips (crispy fried fresh haddock fries and coleslaw).
She was not real happy with this.
It really was not crispy and lacking in flavor. You would think a brewery
would have a beer batter, but it did not. It was tossed in a light flour
coating and then fried.
So overall I would go back and
have some beer, as that was very good, and order some appetizers.
Don’t
look for a high end meal there.
