Had lunch here two days on a recent visit to the Inner Harbor and had a very nice experience both times. Well-crafted, quality beers (tried the Amber Ale, Pale Ale, Porter, and Raspberry Wheat) and good food. Well worth a stop. |

Tried everything they had on tap, and was not disappointed by any of them. A uniformly terrific array of beers. My only regret is that they don't distribute in my area. |

Vermont Pub and Brewery, Burlington, VT
My expectations here were very high (maybe that was my problem), but I was somewhat disappointed. My sampler was a mixed bag. The Smoked Porter was really very tasty, and the Abbey Trippel was very good. The IPA was average, and the rest (Baseball Ale, red ale, stout) were drinkable, if unremarkable. I expected better. (I debated between a "so-so" rating and a "good" rating... it's somewhere in between. |

For a flatlander from the Coastal Plain the setting of the outside patio was worth the stop all by itself. The sampler I tried was very good overall (only the stout didn't measure up). The IPA and the Double Bag were terrific. |

I thought that the beers here were okay, but nothing to write home about. The Belgian-style wheat was the best of the sampler I tried. The Canadian Ale was really boring. The rest (red ale, stout, scottish ale, brown ale) were decent beers, but not overly inspiring. Our server was terrific, and the food was good. |

What an incredible place! This was our first visit, and it was everything I had heard and more. The assortment of beers was mind-boggling (try the Andrew's Old English Ale... superb). Every serious beer drinker should visit this place at least once. Amazing. |

A nice place. The food was fine; the service very good. We only had two beers, the Bitter (very good) and the Black Fly Stout (just okay). |

Andrew's Brewing, Lincolnville, ME
I was lucky enough to find some Andrew's on tap at a restaurant in Camden (the Porter), and at the Great Lost Bear in Portland (the Old English Ale). The porter was the best beer I tasted on a two-week New England trip (out of a total of 65+ different beers), and the ale was in the top 5 or so. Truly excellent beer. |

What a great pub! Definitely worth a stop. The Lobster Ale and Oatmeal Stout were both great. They also have a couple other local beers on tap (including Andrew's Brewing... some of the best beers in New England). A favorite stop on a two-week New England tour. |

Redhook Brewery, Portsmouth, NH
With all that has been written about the potential Anheuser-Busch influence on Redhook beers, I was ready to be disappointed. But to the contrary, we had a great experience. We especially liked the Hefeweizen and the Double Black Stout. The Chicken-White Bean Chili was outstanding, and the service terrific. Well worth a stop. |

A really nice place and well worth a visit. Excellent vegetarian selections on the menu (the veggie jambalaya was outstanding). I was more impressed with the food than I was by the beer. The beers we had were fine (Old Browm Dog and Black Cat Stout), but nothing special. |

I was a bit dissappointed, as I was hoping for a few more regional beers on tap (only Harpoon IPA and Boston Stock Ale represented New England). Otherwise the Veggie Chili was superb and the service fine. |

This was one of our favorite pubs among the many we visited on a two-week trip through New England. Only tried two beers... the Hefeweizen was superb and my girlfriend thought the Blueberry Blond was great (she calls fruit beers "ovarian" beers, as she claims you need ovaries to really appreciate them). A great atmosphere, great food (try the bonleless chicken wings), and great service. Highly recommend a stop if you're in the area. |

A very nice place with good food and good service. The beers were a little variable. The Atlantic Amber was outstanding, and the Rasberry Wheat was decent. But the Coffee Porter was almost undrinkable... a one-dimentional, roasted flavor that had no offsetting balance (a bad batch?). Overall though, a nice experience. |
