3 Gatos Brewery

Tucked away in a strip mall, 3 Gatos has a deceptively spacious interior. Plenty of tabletop seating, along with the bar. Beers are solid, with a few experiments that seem more hit-or-miss. Full menu available, too.

We stopped here to try the beers. It was mid-afternoon on a Thursday and they were not busy so we were seated right away. This location is where the former Kitzingen Brewery was located, which is in a strip mall along a busy commercial street. There is parking at the front of the building. A patio is located at the front entrance. Inside there is an L-shaped bar with seating, and plenty of tables/chairs. An overflow side room has more seating. I noted 3 TVs around the place. Service was good, and we liked the vibe.

There were 13 beers on tap plus one each of a cider, a seltzer and a beertail. We ordered a sampler flight of 5 beers to try to arrive at an overall evaluation of the beers. (A kolsch, a pilsner, a schwarzbier, a BBA dubbel and a west coast IPA.) Each was brewed well to style, although none stood out as notable. Our overall rating for them was 3.90.

The food menu is heavily based on Brazilian recipes and we ordered an appetizer of assorted 'dumplings' (same as croquettes). They were very good. If we lived close by we'd come back to try some of the other Brazilian dishes. Note: the food rating above is based only on our enjoyment of the dumplings along with the descriptions of other items on the menu.

There are some cans to go as well as growlers and howlers. We'll come back here when in the area again. It's a worthy place to visit.

Small location at the end of a strip mall. Small bar with a scattering of tables. 11 beers and 7 ciders on tap. Slight German influence on the beers. Brazilian influenced food menu; food was very good. Pleasant attentive staff.
