Big Cat Brewing Company

 

Small place. Had ran out of some of the items on the menu in the middle of the day! Waitress was friendly and kind. The beer flight was ok anly 1 that was what I would consider note worthy.

The snow had stopped and the sun was shining so we stopped here in this tiny community as part of our pub crawl. The brewery impressed me as mostly a restaurant (kind of a fishing lodge motif), but it works. The small bar is up front along with some tables and chairs, but the larger dining room is at the rear. There is also a fenced patio area outside of the back door. We stopped for lunch and to try their beers on a Friday afternoon and the place was not busy at all. Service was good.

There were 5 beers on tap plus a guest tap of cider. We ordered a sampler flight of all 5 beers. All of them were brewed to style, although the cream ale was a bit murky. The beers were okay, and we liked the Dude! I'm So Rye! IPA the best. This place is fairly new and hopefully they are still tweaking their recipes. The IPA is probably where it needs to be, but the rest need some work.

The food was decent and we enjoyed what we had. The menu features some breakfast items until mid-afternoon, so maybe breakfast is their busy period. If you are in the area, this place is worthy of a stop.

A very charming place off the beaten path...staff from head chef Aaron to waitstaff were very friendly. Food was very unique and tasty... so were the beers. Only able to brew a few at a time as its a smaller brewpub, but worth the trip. Busy Bee Brown Ale was a hit with me
