On the Road in Pennsylvania again

This trip was 10 August 2008 and took us to the McKenzie Brew House, www.mckenziebrewhouse.com.

We were on the way back from taking a tour of the QVC Studios in West Chester and needed to stop for some lunch. What a better place than a local brew pub.

I had the premium sampler which contained five regular and four seasonal beer samples.

McKenzie light lager - crisp, clean, light & full of flavor.

Shane's Gold - very much like Pilsner Urquell which is one of my favorite brews.

Wicked Will's Pale Ale - well balanced

Unicorn Amber Ale - good balanced amber ale. Semi sweet malty taste with flavors of roast & chocolate barley.

Black Lab Stout - light bodied stout with plenty of flavor. Hints of chocolate, coffee, & licorice.

Hefeweizen - German style with banana & clove esters. 4.6%/IBUs 12

Old Blarney Pub Ale - English style bitter. Slight bitter finish. 4.6%/IBUs 30

Saison Vautour - light amber. Lighter esters than the weizen. Bitter finish. 2007 GABF Gold Medalist. ABV 7%/IBUs 35

Houblan Brune - amber color. Stronger brew. Malty at first. Slight bitter finish. ABV 6.6%/ IBUs 55

For appetizers we had some great wings. They were a blend of sweet and spicy and came with a great big side of blue cheese.

Terri had the Spicy Mexican Omelet which was spicy and quite tasty. I had the burger with pub fries, also very tasty.

Our server, Terri, provided us with great service. This was certainly a place worth visiting!
