    Any additional information or is it just that flyer? Doesn't appear to have much on the website and their twitter doesn't say much either.

    All wild ales. I believe they'll have four beers on tap plus guest taps. One if the owners, Martin, used to work at Naja's and is a super cool guy.

    I'll be rolling with an asian/white mixed chick who likes to booze and a chubby mexican guy who also likes to booze, both are fair game.

    So just got home from Phantom Carriage (and Beachwood). They opened an hour later than posted due to a surprise Health Department inspection. Beers were good. Ambiance is fantastic (totally a good date night). Guest taps were solid. Food looked good. The only downvote is for the service, but it was a soft opening, so it's hard to judge how things will turn out. That being said, the place was packed. If they keep making beers like their Bergman beer, it'll be great.

    Makes me wonder if you're actually critiquing beachwood instead considering you went there as well. I wouldn't blame you as the place is Great. (giving you a hard time)

    Was thinking about heading there today and then over to Barley Forge. But is it all blendery style beers? Not into the experimental styles. Just give me a good ipa, stout or ale. Should I still check this place out or skip it and head straight to Barley Forge? Too bad about not getting any Eight bottles. I stopped in BWLB late Thursday night and picked up 4 bottles. Damn fine DIPA! They did have several cases left when I left at Ten. Maybe they need to re-think their 11 bottle limit on the anniversary beers. I mean I don't see the point on 11 bottle limit when a bud/friend can buy one more bottle and make it a case (if their intentions is to sell it on ebay or craigslist to make a extra buck or three). Just a thought.

    Such a nice looking tasting room! Dark and ambient, surrounded by beautiful wooden barrels! And it goes without saying, the beers are phenomenal. Was loving that Lugosi.

    Bergman for the win. Also very excited about seeing variations of the Berliner Weisse in the near future.
