Chelsea Alehouse Brewery
Reviews
If you like German beers this is a place for you. If you like real ipa's don't bother. It was undrinkable.
This is one of the most friendly breweries I have ever been acquainted with. The Owners and employees all have been very friendly and helpful and I haven't even mentioned the Ale! It is developed and brewed on site and is far better then any Ale in this region. I have yet to find a single Ale that I have not liked. Granted, some are more to my taste then others, but each very individualistic and great tasting. With their selection, anyone can find one to their tastes. On the down side, they don;t have much food, but what they do have, the quality is far above the normal pub or bar. Also, their menu is growing. One pretty new entry to the menu, Pulled Pork Sliders, are EXCELLENT! This is a friendly, fun and family friendly establishment, that I will keep coming back to.
I stopped at the Chelsea ale house for a pint. I ordered their Black IPA with no food. it was as good as any Black IPA I've had. It was served cool... warmer than my taste. 550 a pint was reasonable. When I asked about joining the beer club I was told they had 800 members and were full. the attitude was luke warm... Like the IPA. there were 8 people in the bar including my wife and I at 3 30 p.m. on a Wednesday.
Three of the beers we had, the rye, amber and porter were infected. They all had the taste of an acetobacter infection ie. vinegar. The food was fairly good and the atmosphere was nice but to me anyone who would sell an infected beer let alone three should not be in the business of selling beer.
Good beer, good friends, great atmosphere.
