Skewed Brewing

 

This place is in a mall so not much of a vibe. Only 4 beers from Skewed were available but good selection of guest taps. Had the wings and they were very good. Service at the bar was attentive.

My family and I stopped into this spot while passing through town. Located in the mall, it is tucked into a corner in the food court. Small and comfortable, it seemed like a nice little brewpub. For a Friday afternoon, it was quiet, and very lightly staffed. As a result, the service was really slow. They had a lot of guest taps and about six of their own brews. The beer was average. Nothing really outstanding, but also nothing that was off or poorly made. The IPA was reasonable. My wife had poutine, which was excellent. The rest of the food, from chili cheese fries to the burger, was awful. Over cooked, not well seasoned, and tasteless. Unfortunately, beer, service, and food could all improve here.

First off, I'm a local here and I need to say that this brew pub is a very important spot in our community. Yea, it may seem a little too tidy (on the hip side) to really emulate that somewhat surly old school pub feel. But it is in the mall (the only one in town) right by the cinema complex (also the only one in town). They have a great selection of brews and ciders on tap as well as their own made in house. We went on Thirsty Thursday so house beers were $2.50. I had their house flagship "The Juice" which tasted just fine and went really well with the meal. The food is excellent with a wide variety of choices to enjoy. We started with the pretzels and beer cheese, simply decadent. We had a grilled chicken sandwich and a haddock BLT. Both were excellent, full of flavor and downright gooey messy. We enjoy Skewed and are glad to have them and support them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

a pub & brewery in a mall? smells so 1993, but they pull it off, man. 6 house beers on tap (on a Saturday) and a bunch of other offerings (Troegs Hop Knife, Breckenridge Nitro Vanilla Porters and dozens of others) on tap. House beers were good to great. The "Juice" was spectacular and "Milky Way" was a palette pleaser. The Wit, Breakout Stout and 3rd Eye all need some work, but not much, just some tweaks. Food was KILLER!! Duck wings and a pizza with pickles, jalapenos, chicken and ranch. The latter was a combo that should not work, but SO does. In short, my visit completely removed me from knowing I was in a goddamn mall. Mission = accomplished.

 

 

 

OK so this is a brewpub restaurant in a mall. Great to stop and grab a pint from craft breweries across the US. Excellent selection from all corners of he country. When we stopped in the place was just getting up and running so they weren't serving their own beer yet. The atmosphere was not great. It was open and sterile. Didn't have a brewpub feel. You could see the brewery through the glass at the back, but the decorating wasn't to my taste.

The service was not what I would expect given it wasn't very busy at the time we ate. Beer ran dray and took a while to get a refill.

Overall good spot to grab a pint while waiting for my girlfriend to finish shopping. Selection is very wide, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
