On this trip, Terri and I went to the Iron Hill Brewery in Newark, DE - http://www.ironhillbrewery.com/newark/.

I ordered the beer sampler and what a sample it was. Ten beers!

Iron Hill Light Lager - Great light beer that was not light on flavor!

Vienna Red Lager - Clean crisp red lager that uses Saaz hops

Ironbound Ale - A hop infused favorite.

Pig Iron Porter - Good balance on this beer. Noticeable chocolate taste.

House Belgian Ale - Very true to style of a Belgian Double

Raspberry Wheat - Light and refreshing. Good summer beer

For the seasonal beers I had the following:

Belgian Trippel - another very true to style Belgian Beer

Cask conditioned ironbound ale - This was a little hoppier than the standard Ironbound Ale.

Dunkel weizen - true German style wheat with banana and clove esters.

Belgian wit - another true to style beer that had great flavor and a great finish.

For an appetizer we had the Caribbean Garlic Shrimp Skewers which were excellent. For dinner, Terri had the traditional pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil. I had the hickory barbeque burger with sweet potato fries. The food was excellent.

We had the best service that I have had in a long time at this restaurant. I even had to tell the manager how great our server did. This is a place that I would definitely go back to.
