Met five friends for lunch on December 12th. Had the Hop Explosion,which was OK, friends had some lagers which they compared to Yeungling. I followed with the porter, which I sent back, and ended with the barley wine, which was good. I had the fish and chips, which was fair. I'm surprised that this place has not improved since my last visit in December '07. I wanted to go to the wanted to go to the Bethlehem Brew Works, which I think is much better, but they had a kitchn fire, and were shut for a few days. What's interesting is that they are owned by the same people. I guess the experience does not transfer. The service, however, was outstanding!
