Yeah, so last week I headed down to Lancaster with Christine for a Built to Spill concert (they rocked). Naturally, we had dinner at the Lancaster Brewing Company. I made my normal drink order at a new-to-me brewpub, the sampler platter. Typically, this consists five, six, maybe seven samples. But Lancaster apparently takes their sampling seriously, giving me ten 5-oz. samples, one of each beer on tap. A little math puts that at four beers with dinner and a heck of a concert to follow.
As for the brewpub itself, it was a cool atmosphere. Well, as cool as, a historic tobacco warehouse (I think that's what I heard) can be. The food was good but not great and the food had too few affordable options. My burger was tasty, but Christine's Chicken caesar salad was over $10 and the lettuce came in one huge chunk. If you're in Lancaster it's worth a visit, but definitely not road-trip worthy considering the bevy of breweries in eastern PA.
Here my favorites:
Amish Four Grain Pale Ale - A malt-focused pale ale that tastes like a biscuit cookie with fruity hops.
Hefeweizen - I'm a sucker for a classic, tasty and smooth German wheat beer.
Milk Stout - Not really milky or anything, but a nice, rich stout with dominating black malts.
