Pulling into the parking lot, we noticed a community farmers market on site! Not only could we stop for a bite to eat, we could stock up on offerings of fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers!
We parked and quickly made our way indoors as the the weather was starting to change and rain pelted down upon us. We were excited to enjoy some local brews and fare. After a short wait, we were seated outdoors where we were able to enjoy the ambiance of a roofline of beautiful wood, potted palms, string lights, and warm air with an open breeze from the new rain.
While talking with our friendly server, we found that Bottlworks was built in a sustainable fashion by repurposing an abandoned supermarket! This creative and environmentally responsible repurposing resonated within us.
Over 60 styles of brews are offered at Bottleworks! We settled on trying an Apple Pie cider and an Ale, aptly named Tropical Saison. Both brews were satisfying on the warm summer day. A medley of spices and freshly baked apple pie was sensed as I took that first sip from the cider. The suitably named Tropical Saison offered up a unique flair with the scent and taste of mango with a tart finish.
As for the food, Bottleworks offers up a host of fine dishes to choose from! To accompany our ale and cider, we started out with hot pretzel sticks accompanied with fresh, melted Hefeweizen cheese! The pairing of the cheese and the ale was unparalleled! The pretzel sticks had a crisp outer finish with a doughy hot center that lent well to sopping up the cheese.
For the main course we chose the Pork Schnitzel with garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, and mushroom gravy. The schnitzel was cooked to perfection, crisp outer layer with a tender juicy center. The garlic mashed potatoes were freshly made with minced garlic on top, lending a kick to each bite. The white mushroom gravy complimented the schnitzel and potatoes perfectly while the sautéed spinach served as an all-star side!
Bottleworks is definitely an experience to be had. Fresh food, good taps, friendly wait staff, live music, and an inviting atmosphere all come together to provide an experience like no other. Next time you’re in town, stop by and try it out for yourself. Cheers!
