This microbrewery (apparently the second if you read their website) is located in the French Concession area on the corner of Dongping and Hengshan Roads.Theres an outside patio area leading toward the front doors and a more sheltered outside terrace running down the side of the building overlooking the street and pavement.Inside you can see lots of brass associated with the microbrewery and some restored polished timber floors.
There are six kinds of fresh beer brewed onsite such as Peoples Pilsener,North Star IPA Black Eyed Bear Stout and a Peach brew I didn't fancy.Just check which ones are available before ordering.They do a special sampling deal as well.
The two photos above and below show two of the local brews.The service was friendly and efficient.We were even prompted to wait on ordering until the happy hour started ensuring we got a better deal on the drinks.As well as beer,the usual spirits and cocktails are available.
The photo below shows the Mexican nachos on the menu which also features Mexican and German offerings including sausages as well as fajitas.The nacho dish also included freshly made salsa and an adequate number of olives.Not really memorable but reasonable in terms of price and size.The last shot shows a mojito cocktail.Lots of chunky lime sections and mint leaves.Only a minor point but the mint taste would have been enhanced if the mint leaves had been crushed more to bring out their flavour.I'd stick with the beers in the future.
In summary their local beers make a refreshing change and are worth checking out while the food is reasonable by Shanghai standards in terms of size and price.The service is professional and above the usual 'meh' levels.Well worth another visit to check the beers I missed.You can find details of the location and menu etc on their website.
