On a Saturday afternoon we decided to take a day trip less than 2 hours away to Erie, PA. We first hit up the zoo and then headed a few minutes away to Lavery Brewing which I had read about months earlier. We just recently got their Dulachan IPA in stores around here and were big fans! Great IPA and the beeradvocate rating wasn't true to how we liked it.
It is somewhat hidden on the side of a building in which a restaurant controls. Upon entering you see giant tanks making the beer, follow the hallway pass the bathrooms to the entrance to the tasting room. We were there around opening time so it was dead. A nice sized taproom with a good amount of space. Small, but interesting looking food menu. But we just were there to drink so we ordered a sampler that had all 6 beers they currently had on tap.
Madra Allta IPA was fantastic! Went home with a half growler of it. The Devils Pumpkin was fantastic. The Strawberry Berliner Weisse had a lot of flavor. The Deth Lepard dark ale was really good. Liopard Farmhouse was our least favorite but was still not a bad beer. And the standout here is their Breakfast Stout. It is up there with Goose Island Coffee County Bourbon and Founders Breakfast Stout. Just a ton of coffee flavor and strong but didn't taste heavy.
I really liked this place a lot and they seem to be doing great things here. We just so happened to be there on the day they are having a big celebration for their 1 year anniversary. Sadly we had other things to do, but I am glad a place can be so good after one year. Do yourself a favor and go check them out...
