Congregation Ale House

Near ISM brewing (former Beachwood spot)

They were out of several of the things I asked for and steered me towards their house beers. Can't say that ended up as a good choice, I tried two of their IPAs, a West Coast and a hazy. The West Coast reminded me of 10 years ago when the answer to everything was to throw more IBUs in, except the part where the beer still tasted good, this one was not good. The hazy also looks out of ten years ago when people were trying to figure out the sorcery happening on the East Coast and produced slightly hazy, bad, caramel bombs.

Really cool vibe. The guy who helped us was proud of their beers and when asked a few pointed questions leapt into a "beer" conversation. Really advocated for us trying a few beers beyond what we had planned. Cool guy. A good variety of styles, and well chosen guest beers.

This place was great. Cool vibe inside and nice street side patio. Food was outstanding. Bottle and canned beer selection is extensive. Even the picky beer drinker should be able to find something here.

 

 

great place to grab a beer nice look as well can be packed with people sometimes and loud so definitely a hangout spot.

 

 

 

A great spot. A smaller selection then the Azusa or Pasadena location. Burgers are out of sight. Sunday Mass includes A pitcher of Bloddy Marys at a great price. Very easy access to public transit if you intend to put down a few and not want to drive.

This spot right next to Beachwood Brewing started out as my place to go when Beachwood was packed or had events. Slowly it became equally if not preferred to Beachwood as Beachwood's food as slowly gone down hill. What happened to your nachos Beachwood?

The draft list is hit or miss but most often hit. I've had Abyss, Knuckle, Alpine and numerous limited offerings in the past. There is always something good and interesting on the draft list. The food is as perfect as it gets for beer food. Brats, burgers, fries and tots many different ways with 8 sauces I can think of off hand.

I love how you place your card down and can order from anywhere. The service has always been good and the patio is the spot to be. There are also TVs for game nights.

Great spot overall that I will continue to frequent.

 

 

Huge selection of beer! Great place.
