It’s a craft beer bar, so we had to go in. Actually, I’m not sure Jonathan felt that we had to go in, but he was willing to, so that’s all that mattered.
It has a decent reputation and it brews lots of craft beer, what’s not to like?
It’s a large venue with a range of seating types and there’s also plenty of space downstairs, which is also where the brewing kit is.
They had a range of flights and I opted for this one, as I was keen to try the apricot ale. From left to right:
(i) Vienna Lager – Not my usual style, but malty, bready and quite agreeable.
(ii) Baltic Porter – Creamy, dark, rich and slightly decadent.
(iii) Apricot Ale – Light, subtle, gentle and a pleasant apricot taste that wasn’t too punchy (although I would have liked it a little more punchy).
(iv) Pale Ale – Piney, fluffy with a bit of citrus.
(v) Blonde Ale – Wheat beer with some banana notes, nicely rounded.
One of my favourite foods is chicken schnitzel, what appears to be an on-trend dish as veal and pork versions seem to be becoming less popular, and I was delighted to see that they had it here. And, it was just as I wanted, tender chicken, crunch to the exterior with the green beans adding some health to the whole thing. And the fries were very moreish.
This was a perfect last meal for this trip, absolutely surprised and delighted, if I come back to Yerevan then it’s absolutely certain that I’ll come here. For the many, not the few, this is what I hope the future looks like.
