Crooked Rooster / Roosterfish Brewing, Watkins Glen, NY
What a horrible experience I had here. Wow! Not only is the beer nondescript and amateur at best, but the service and staff is shockingly repellent. A two hour wait for food, a bartender with the evil eye and a manager screaming at me does not a pleasent visit or review make. Avoid this place and their second restaurant The Wildflower Cafe next door, they share the same kitchen and same cook, like the plague. |

Wow! This place is HUGE. Their Scottish ale ranks right up there with some of the best I have ever had. Food was very good. The shear size of their brewing tanks and facility is most impressive. |

A small treasure of a brewpub! Beer and food were both excellent. Staff was very cordial and took time to talk. Copper bar is very impressive. Pretty eclectic mix of patrons. Local people on their lunch hour as well as tourists being dropped off by bus. I look forward to returning in the future. Cool alligator farm a couple of miles away - don't miss it. |

Great microbrewery just outside of Bar Harbor. Their Real Beer is fantastic. The Coal Porter is pretty sweet. But their Braggert Barley Wine is to die for. Brought lots home with me. Almost every bar or restaurant in Bar Harbor sells some of their brews. The guide giving the tour could have been better educated about brewing. The indoor/outdoor cafe is a great idea that other microbreweries should look into. |

Thirsty Dog Brewing Company, Canton, OH
They really do have 15 flavors on tap. Quite an impressive range of beers. Their dog bone shaped sampler comes with 8, 11, or 15 samples. Huge place with all the kettles on display, but they could have done a better job disguising the old mexican restaurant that used to be there. |

This place is great! Their 90 Shilling Scotch ale is worth the trip, from the tap or from the hand-pull. Food was excellent. It's in the old Brewery district and German Town. This was a very comfortable brewpub, unlike the artsy-fartsy "Elevator" down the street. |

Garrett Mill Brewing was Alessi's Ristorante, Garrettsville, OH
This place is more of a restaurant then a brewpub. There was no beer list or discription of their beers to be found. Their Nut Brown tasted like a Honey Brown and their Honey Porter tasted like a Smoked Porter. The building is situated right on top of some waterfalls, very cool. |

All the beers I sampled were very good. Their stout really is a porter and quite good. The place is huge, you can really tell it used to be a supermarket. The seperate cigar bar is a great idea. Great place but couldn't they come up with a better name? |

Barley's Brewing Company, Columbus, OH
Probably the most comfortable brewpub in Columbus. All the beers I sampled were of superior quality. They did run out of several flavors in the couple of hours I was there though. It was PACKED on the Friday night I visited. My only complaint, well it's a question really is why in the world did they put the host station in the middle of the place? It log-jammed the whole place. |

Not what I expected. This is a large German themed restaurant. It must be awesome when they hold an Oktoberfest. Beers were uninspiring. Not much of an atmosphere. I went out of my way to visit this place and I wouldn't recommend to a traveling beer connoisseur. |

Mendocino provides the perfect relaxed atmosphere to quaff some of the best beer ever brewed. Red Tail Ale and Black Hawk Stout are both excellent, but Eye of the Hawk is a slice of heaven. In all my travels, this pub ranks as one of the best. |

Some very good beers, but oh my God, they have the hostess from Hell. If I didn't want to try their beers so bad, I would have walked out. |

Worst brewery tour I have ever been on. Tour guide knew nothing. Slow, boring, gave up before we got to the beer. Most questions from the crowd were answered with "I don't know." |

Yeah, it may be dirty, but great atmosphere. Gimme a yard and I'm happy, even with the neighborhood dogs running around my feet. |
