Walnut Brewery is a block away from the historic Pearl Street mall in college-ville, Boulder.
It is a subsidiary of the Rock Bottom Chain which explains the quality of beer and food.
Best word; mediocre. The brown was good, the others (Pale Ale, IPA, mild {very mild} dark) all without character.
The food is expensive and the portions small. Our pretzels “bites” (and that’s what they were…all 5 of them) were almost $5.00 — on a Wednesday afternoon — with 2 half pints — total, $15.75 without tip.
This was my fault.
In my zeal to experience a new brewery, I asked a young lady on the street if she lived in Boulder. She answered, “yes” with a lovely smile. Then I asked about Walnut. She raised her hand, fingers stretched out in front and wriggled her hand in a “meh” gesture.
“And New Flanders?”
No words. Same hand expression…then, “I’d go to Mountain Sun.”
Well, wife Persimmon and I have been there and, as I said, I wanted to try a new place.
I did.
I won’t return.
