text: We arrived around 5pm on their first Saturday night. Bar was full but there were some open spots along the high tops along the windows. The beer list was amazing and, props for using correct glassware for each beer. The reason for the 3 stars was the food. We started out with the chicken wings. I always use these as a barometer for a place that calls itself an ale house. They were served hot, but dry. Three accompanying sauces were served (Ranch?/Some sort of light cinnamon flavored/  and a Tabasco-like spicy one). Unfortunately all 3 sauces failed. Please don't try and re invent the wheel and  don't try and fancy-up wings. Would never order these again. We then split the roasted beet and arugula salad. The roasted beets were fabulous and just the right amount of crumbles. We did not particularly care for the metal plate the salad was served on, as both of us kept getting that metal on metal scrapping feeling when we dug into it. The service was friendly and prompt, our waitress was helpful, although had no idea what we were talking about when we asked about sour ales. I asked because an article had mentioned that it was a favorite of one of the owners. We would go back for a few beers, maybe try something else small off the menu, but at this point I would be hesitant to order a full meal or bring a bunch of people in to eat.
