Appalachian Brewing Company was very good! So much so in fact we wound up there twice that day! Appalachian is based out of Harrisburg but has 2 other brew pub locations. The one we went to was in Gettysburg. Wacko and I went so that she could see a friend of hers from college and I went so I could maybe see a ghost and it gave me a chance for a few cigars.
Anyway, our server (the first time there) was a young lady named Sarah. She was excellent! She knew her stuff about each beer, gave recommends, and was very friendly and gave us a sample of each beer and their own brewed root beer! So going off the receipt, it was $10 and we got 12 5-ounce sampler glasses of beer and 1 of root beer. So Wacko and I had nachos to go with the first sampler. This is good to note because with the slight spice in the plate, it changed the taste of the beer, but there were only 2 notable differences. The second time around we didn’t have food until after we started drinking so the beer on a fresh palette versus having had some nachos. These should be more or less lightest to darkest. And speaking of which, I even had to buy one of their sampler glasses. It has a lightest to darkest scale on it along with the name of each kind of beer. That is excellent considering we do this beer log once a month! I will try to compare these to Sam Adams as we said we would, but these weren’t all that close to Sam. Read the rest of this entry »
