Iron Hill Brewery
List of Different Beer
My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting “Iron Hill Brewery” in Greenville, South Carolina. It certainly was a fantastic experience. Of course if you’ve read any of my blogs or reviews you know the bar is my favorite spot in any restaurant, bar, grill, pub… you name it. If there is a seat at the bar, I’m there! Especially if the bar tender is friendly and can work the bar area having multiple conversations with all of the patrons, drawing us all together as if we’ve known each other for years. Well this time was no different… when we walked in, we met “Jacquelyn” (Sorry if I am spelling it incorrectly.) She was very polite and immediately asked what she could get for us.
Reindeers Revenge and Basil and Tonic (don’t forget the shot of St. Germain
Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls
Since it was our first time here, we were clueless and especially since this was a brewery, I was overwhelmed by the choices of beer. Jacquelyn walked me through the different selections and I was sold on the Reindeers Revenge (American Tirpel). Now this beer was a little different but certainly refreshing. It had a hint of grapefruit, banana as and was filled with hops. Thats no surprise since it had an ABV (Alcohol by Volume) of 9%. I used to hate “hoppy” beer but as I get older, I can really appreciate the different and various amounts of hops as it defines the “character” of the beer of choice. I digress… my girlfriend had a “Basil and Tonic” with a shot of St. Germaine. I had a sip and it was certainly good but it was killing my vibe for the beer I selected so a sip is all I needed.
Of course when you partake in adult beverages, you also get hungry so we ordered appetizers… Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Salmon Spring Rolls,
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Hand-Cut Belgian Style Fries (I know its a lot of food… don’t judge me ;-) … If I had to choose my favorite appetizer, the Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls by far was my favorite. Don’t get me wrong… all of them were good but I’ll certainly order the Philly before I order anything else. YES!!!! They were that good.
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Now as far as the atmosphere, the bar was full of locals and/or regulars who did not waste any time speaking and being friendly. The conversation was so lively around the bar that one gentlemen (never got his name) purchased a round of drinks for everybody at the bar. What a way to start the
Year! Everybody we met that day was extremely nice. Im not sure if people were excited about the new year or that just a testament of how friendly people are in Greenville.
Salmon Spring Rolls
Any-who, I certainly will be back trying another beer, ordering my Philly Cheesesteak and enjoying the ambiance.
Hand-Cut Belgian Style Fries
I think you should stop by and see them. When you do, tell’em Drew sent ya! Ya’ll be easy!
