Mountain Rambler Brewery

 

Stopped by with my sister while passing through Bishop on my way to do some hiking. I like the communal picnic bench seating and local art on the walls. It was a Sunday afternoon and relatively busy. The beers and food were solid but not spectacular. I had a hazy IPA and pork tacos. My sister didn't love her arugula and mango chicken pizza so I had a piece of that too. It wasn't much. The outside patio looked sweet if it hadn't been a hundred degrees outside. Definitely worth a visit if on a trip through the eastern Sierras if you are in the mood for some brew.

This was my first stop after I climbed Mt. Whitney. After a long day on the trail a cold pint of Picture Puzzle really hit the spot. It was mid week and not super busy, but still a fair number of people rolled through. Had a nice laid back feel, welcoming to both locals and out of towners. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. I didn't get anything to eat, but the food looked really good. Very cool little place.

 

For an out of the way place, this is a wicked find. The beers are good to very good. Most noteworthy to my tastes are: Inconsolable DIPA and Cloudripper American barleywine. The Picture Puzzle Session IPA and the Peaklet porter are quite good as well. The food is reasonably to well priced. Highlights for my group were the brats, the salad (yes, even the salad was noteworthy), and the lamb empanada. Oh, their fries are awesome too. Really intriguing art up at the time of our visit by a local artist, ONLY. A really cool place!!! Will hit this place EVERY time.

 

Located in downtown Bishop. The place looks like it used to house a grocery store, so the location is a bit odd. Inside there's a generous offering of in-house beer selections. The beers are solid and clean. The food options are pretty delicious (cant go wrong with the local beef). The place also houses some local artists on the walls and occasionally has live music.
