The ambiance is nothing special and neither is the food. However, the beer selection is often good and the service isn’t bad either. It’s a solid choice in an area where brewpubs are scarce.

Tucked away in a strip mall. Went during the week at lunch time and the place was pretty empty. Big bar, lots of other seating and very clean. The service was great, the bartender was familiar with all the beers and answered our questions about the area. We had lunch which was good, but the beer was better. Overall a great place for the area, I could see being a regular if I lived in Bear.

A pretty nice little brew pub. I liked this place. Had a some enjoyable beers, and a tasty crab cake sandwich on my trip. Bartender was nice enough. Nice seasonal options to go along with the standards. Definitely a place I’d stop in again if I’m driving by.

Though good beer can be found in the most unlikely places, brewpubs found in strip malls seem to start off on the wrong foot to me. The interior ambiance is nothing special, but it does have that "local pub" vibe which is nice. From memory the beer good; I recall not caring much for a whiskey barrel beer of theirs (and I love barrel aged beers). There was however, a pretty good selection of beers. I would definitely stop again if I was in the area despite not being overly impressed with the presentation.

This is an interesting brewpub. I visited here on a Saturday afternoon with fredandboboflo. It’s located in the middle of a strip mall in suburban Delaware. It’s definitely a hangout for locals and the bartender seemed to know a lot of the people that were there. They have TVs, a dartboard, trivia TV games, and poker TV games. There is a horseshoe bar and it is quite large. The bartender was very friendly, seemed to know his stuff and he won points with me when I ordered a glass of water and he asked if I wanted "regular water or Coors Lite." We ordered a basket of fries which was tasty. Well-priced food and beer. They had ~5 house beers, ~5 seasonals (can’t remember exactly). Their cask IPA was phenomenal, their kolsch was good, but the other 2 I had (weizenbock, winter wonder) were not good. So I guess it kind of depends on the beer, but definitely try their cask IPA if you get a chance. Overall, it is a very chill place to just hang back and enjoy a beer. I’m glad I stopped by.

A nice local brewpub. Stewarts brews a good variety of beer and brews it well on a consistant basis. Most of their styles are very drinkable for any beer palate. Agood selectoin of pub food is on the menu. There is a nice game time atmosphere with the many large tv in a big open area.

I’ve been going to Stewart’s now for nearly 3 years. I will start off by saying that they have a number of staple beers that are classic styles and are not meant to blow you away. I will say that their Irish Red is one of the best I’ve had though. The real pleasure of Stewarts comes in their seasonal beers. The Stumblin’ Monk, their take on a Belgian Trippel, is a favorite of regulars and has won several awards at the WBC and the GABF. Other favorites of mine are their Winter Ale and their Barleywines are top notch if you’re lucky enough to catch them on tap in the winter. My FAVORITE beer there though are their bourbon aged beers. They generally will do a bourbon aging of the Stumblin Monk or the Barleywine. I actually have 3 bottles of Barrel of Monkeys (Bourbon aged Monk) that have been aging now for 2 years. I enjoy the food although with the frequency I go there, I’ve become bored with it. It’s above your average pub grub. If you like fish and chips, you won’t be disappointed here! Shawn is easily the best and friendliest bartender there. You can’t miss him as he’s got a great laugh and an unmistakeable goatee. Enjoy this local scottish pub if you’re passing through, or live locally!

I,ve always enjoyed Stewarts. Nice atmosphere for an afternoon snack and some brews. Food is good solid pub grub. Service is good, attentive. Beers are,nt any thing to go wild over though i need to try more of their specialties/seasonals to make a better decision. Plenty of parking and clean facilities. Too many TVs. Definately worth stoppin by when yer in Bear Delaware.

Stewarts is a local pub. Their food is good. Their house beers are made to be drinkable by everyone (beer lovers or not) which makes it a nice trip for anyone. Their seasonals are excellent and worth coming for. They are always rotating beers. Service is always good, as well as everything else. It is a good place to stop.

After multiple visits to this place, I like it. The food is normally pretty good, short of excellent, though. The staff isn’t always very knowledgeable, but they have a handful of folks that have been impressive, as well as the brewer and his assistants, who are frequently present. Beer is served pretty cold, although not much different from most brewpubs. I wish they had more vintage bottles to offer and a more regular special/seasonal rotation (which is up and down). Frequently host beer events and festive occassions. The 5oz samples are decent sized and fairly priced (4 for 5 bucks).
