Spending Veterans Day (Nov. 11, 2016) in Gettysburg took all day so as the sun began to set at 4:30, wife Persimmon and I decided it was time to eat and have a brew.
I had wanted to try Appalachin Brewing but thought it too far away. Didn’t realize they had a location in Downtown Gettysburg but came upon it by chance.
A Friday. A holiday. Dinner-time. Yep. Place was packed but we waited all of 6 minutes before we got seated.
Gold star #1
All you can eat fish & chips!
Gold star #2
Everything on the beer board…all 18 brews…were available for tasting!
Gold star #3
We settling for a salad, a Scottish ale and Doppelbock…both were WONderful as were the fish and chips. The barley wine, not enough fruit flavor and a bit too hoppy…the Chocolate Stout, too much hop bitterness, the Maple Brown…just enough with a slight sweetness to balance it off
When we left a bit before 6, people were standing 4 deep waiting to get a table and although, not too cold (55 degrees) no one sat in the picnic-sized beer garden.
If any of you reading this review were there, I do hope you waited — it was all well worth it and if you did…
