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…

Gold star #4

Nice laid back, little neighborhood bar in a trendy neighborhood (Lincoln Park) a couple of miles north of downtown. On my visit, they had 6 of their own brews (American IPA, Wheat IPA, Belgian Dubbel, Dusseldorf Alt, American Wheat and an APA) and about 8 guest beers. I had the American IPA and the APA, both very good with a clean taste and unusual selection of hops (Equinox, Nelson Sauvin & Golden Promise). I don’t think I’ve used any of those in my homebrewing efforts.

Extensive collection of whiskeys. Good dinner menu ranging from pub grub (burgers) to trendier fare (Charcuterie & Cheese Board). The bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. I will go back if I return to the area.
