First visited on September 3, 2002. Thanks totally to a kind invite and a lift from the wife of the Brewer, Chris Boggess of the Rock Bottom, Long Beach. For he invited me to Car pool with him and a friend, to a beer tasting night here. Interestingly, it was an English Mild and Brown Ale Beer Appreciation Night. Cool.
As you approach the premises, you cannot help but be impressed by its brick façade, and its overall quality look. A clean looking establishment that is rightfully popular. You enter via an octagonal shaped brick built entrance topped with a large dome.
For the beer tasting we were ushered right into a sort of glass roofed covered outhouse that runs down the length of the building. Make no mistake this is a large building. Food on offer was marvellous and appeared to represent good value for money. I tried a few of the beers on draft and they were all above average. Although the special that night, Nutty Brewnette was perhaps the least favourable. The Tatonka Stout though – is by far the very best beer that they do in my opinion. The staff were all friendly, pleasant and very attentive. A great place to spend the night with friends.
Well Worth a visit, one of the better BJ’s I have been to.
