5 Star Review By Toby Bear
WOW! SO GLAD WE STOPPED IN HERE! If you like craft beer, unique pizzas, and friendly people, then you must stop by and try this brew pub. The outside of the restaurant is rather unassuming. But, once you walk in, you notice the beams, touches of modern wood work, and the friendly bar keeps and immediately feel welcomed. We initially went in to try a flight of beer and kill some time. We ordered the English Style Bitter Ale, Trestle IPA, Watermelon Sour, and Blueberry Delight Milkshake IPA. We both really enjoyed the Trestle and the Blueberry IPA tremendously. The sour was good but keep in mind sour beers are an acquired taste. For a sour, it was tastefully crafted. The English Bitter IPA didn't knock our socks off or anything but it wasn't undrinkable either. As we reviewed the eclectic pizzas on their menu, we figured that we only live once so why not try something unusual. We were pleased that you can order a whole pizza and do half one way and half another. We tried the "Smoked Pulled Pork, Gouda, Mac & Cheese, Jalapeno Cornbread" on one side and the "Maine Blueberries, Ricotta, Roasted Shallot, Lemon Zest" on the other half. Both pizza halves far exceeded what we expected! The pulled pork...pizza was packed with numerous complementary flavors and textures. The Blueberry pizza was rich and creamy with a smooth savory base from the shallots highlighted with subtle but bright pops of lemon zest to reduce the heaviness. The crust was airy and crispy on the edges without being too chewy. Being brave and trying these pizzas was fantastically rewarding! It may sound cliche, but we liked the blueberry pizza paired with the Blueberry Delight IPA. The pulled pork Gouda pizza paired decently with the Trestle IPA as well.
