Ol' Republic Brewery

Went here with my buddies on a Saturday night. There was just one guy working solo but he was super friendly as he helped everyone out. I could see how he could be frustrated but he was super chill which was nice.

A couple of my friends got some samplers. You can sample up to 8 beers or you can pick, 7, 6, 5, and so on that you want to try.

I ended up going with the Dunkel Bock which was great.

Like others have stated, this is a BYOF place...meaning bring your own food to eat!
I would definitely like to come back here again for some more beer.

It's just a brewery!

No fancy food menus here.  You come for the beer and stay for the beer.  The beers are vast and crafted well.  I will be returning periodically to see what's new, as should you.  This hidden gem is just that, a Gem that's been newly harvested from the earth and brought into the light to shine in the sun.

First off this beer is only available locally and on tap. It's a small brewery and they specialize in lagers. That said they have 8 plus lagers and ales on tap. For a small brewery that is a large selection. I am not a big fan of lagers so I went with their  English Black Ale. It had a very creamy well balanced taste. If you like dark beer I would recommend trying it. I ended up buying a stainless steel growler full of it. The brewery itself is off the beaten tourist trail of Broad Street so you have to make an effort to find it. Do so because you'll be pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is causal with seating both inside and outside. Ol' Republic is a nice little jewel hidden in the gold country..... Can't wait to try their English Brown Ale!
