Sun Valley Brewing Company

If you really want to tell if a place is dirty or just disorganized, visit the restroom. They are clean at Sun Valley, or at least they were when I was there. That gets them two stars.

I think they are just disorganized, and dont really know what they want to be.

The food was, eh.  I had the Ruben, wife had the Turkey sandwich.  Her sandwich was ok, but nothing outstanding.  The ruben had potential, but the bread was somewhat burned.

The beer was really what I came to try. The Cranky IPA is ok.  But honestly, it wouldn't stand a chance against a really good IPA, say Ballast Point, or Russian River, but not bad.  It tasted a little stale.  That floral aroma of hops was totally lacking.

The Scotch Ale was tolerable, if a little wierd.  Its described as "smoky" and it was that. In fact, all I tasted was smoke.

The Pine Top Pale was horrid.  It literally tasted stale, like dust.  It had no other flavor.  I didn't even drink it, just tasted, and left the rest in the glass.

Not my top pick, considering other options available in the area.

Four of us came in for lunch - we didn't sample the beer.  Our lunches were great, each ordered a different item.  Salads were great as were the sandwiches.  The soup was excellent.

The food was four stars.  Here's the list that caused me to dock one star.  First, the carpet needed to be vacuumed and the carpet itself was filthy.  The carpet on a stair tread was thread-bare and ready to trip a customer.  The whole interior needs some TLC. There were chairs with vinyl upholstery split, walls needing paint touch up.  There was an old round tube CRT television in the bar plus stained ceiling tiles (probably from a roof leak).  The service was slow and there were very few employees working.

Is business bad?  OR, don't the owners/managers care?

Drink here, don't eat.
