点评:I’ve always enjoyed Oast House beer whenever I find it in stores, so we were really excited to finally visit the brewery and restaurant in person.
We were especially looking forward to trying the pizzas because we’d heard so many great things about them. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we found out that the pizzas are only served during the week, while the weekend menu is a smaller BBQ-focused menu. We were pretty disappointed because the pizza was a big reason we wanted to visit.
That also made things a little difficult for my vegetarian wife, as there was really only one vegetarian main option available: the Sweet Potato Al Pastor. Unfortunately, she wasn’t a fan. She found it lacking in flavour and the texture was very mushy.
I went with the Brisket, which was decent. The meat was nice and tender, but it was a little dry and, in my opinion, quite overpriced for what you get.
The Queso Nachos were much better. The “Hey There!” sauce they put on them was absolutely delicious and added a ton of flavour. We also enjoyed the Pretzels, which were tasty.
The beer was definitely one of the highlights of the visit. We tried several and really enjoyed them, especially the Sour Cherry Berliner, Apricot IPA, Raspberry Sweet Tea Ale, and Lemonade Lavender Ale. They’re all really unique beers with some interesting flavours, and there were several that I hadn’t tried before.
We did find the prices throughout the brewery to be pretty steep. Personally, I’m also not a huge fan of paper menus and plastic cups at a brewery/restaurant like this…it just makes the experience feel a little cheaper than it needs to.
That being said, the patio is really nice, and we definitely aren’t writing Oast House off. We plan on coming back to try the pizzas during the week and explore more of their seasonal beers. This particular visit was just okay, but there’s enough here that we’re willing to give it another shot.
翻译:每当我能在商店里买到Oast House啤酒时,我总是乐此不疲。因此,能亲自去参观这家酿酒厂兼餐厅让我们兴奋不已。
我们尤其期待品尝这里的披萨,因为早前听闻了很多关于它们的好评。可惜的是,到达后我们才发现,披萨只在工作日供应,周末的菜单则以烧烤为主。由于披萨正是我们前来此地的主要原因,因此我们感到相当失望。这也给我的素食主义妻子带来了一点困扰——因为实际上只有一种素食主菜可选:甜薯阿尔帕斯托尔。可惜她并不喜欢这道菜。她觉得它没什么味道,而且口感也过于软烂。
我则选择了牛腩,味道还算不错。肉质鲜嫩,不过有点偏干。在我看来,以这个品质而言,价格实在偏高了。
至于芝士纳乔斯则要好得多。“嘿,你好!”他们浇在上面的酱汁简直美味至极,为食物增添了无数风味。我们还很喜欢那些椒盐卷饼,味道也很棒。
啤酒绝对是这次体验的亮点之一。我们尝试了好几种,都非常喜欢,尤其是酸樱桃柏林啤酒、杏子IPA、覆盆子甜茶艾尔以及柠檬薰衣草艾尔。这些啤酒都独具特色,带有各种有趣的风味,其中好几种都是我以前没喝过的。我们确实觉得这家啤酒厂里的各项定价都相当昂贵。就我个人而言,我也不太喜欢在这种啤酒厂/餐厅里使用纸质菜单和塑料杯……这会让整体体验显得有些廉价了。
不过,这里的露天区真的很不错,我们绝对不会因此就放弃光顾Oast House。我们打算这周再来一次,尝尝他们的披萨,同时也试试更多季节性啤酒。这次光顾只能说是还算不错而已。不过,这里有足够多的亮点,让我们愿意再试一次。
