BrewPub Review. Woo!




Nodding Head Brewery and Restaurant on 1516 Sansom in center city was one of the first on my list of brewpubs to tackle. and i must say i was pleasantly surprised.

atmosphere: dark but not too dark, the booths are old church or like train station benches. pretty neat, not so much fun for a shorty like me. the benches made me feel a little bit like the little kid sitting at the grown up table.

Food: GET THE MUSSELS!!!!!!!!!!!! or the baked brie. (dont get the vegatarian stew its bland and kinda dull)

and now to teh most important part.

Beer.



ok so the pic isnt the best. from left to right the beers are as follows:
1. Grog (5.5%): english style brown ale. it is cask conditioned, therefore i love it.
2. BPA(5%): bill payer ale. if you like hops A LOT, this is the beer for you.
3. Wee Heavier (9.5%): strong scottish ale. very good. not amazing. it goes down problematically smooth.
4. Old Sot (10.5%): barleywine style ale. little malty , a lot awesome. then again i'm pretty sure i havent met a barleywine i didnt like.
5. Doc (4.75%) blonde ale. meh. too much of a floral..kinda reminds me of hoegarden. if you like citrusey ales. this is a beer for you.
6. Chocolate Stout: they used 26 pounds of freakin chocolate to brew this stout tho it wasnt as filling as i expect stouts to be.
7. George's Fault (9%): beligian style ale. its a golden ale of awesome. it has a damn sweet finish from all the honey it was brewed with. love it

favorite beer: Grog.

bottom line: get your ass there. all of you. a variety of beers for a variety of palettes and damn good food to boot.
