The Pump House Brewery

September 26, 2008
Been here a couple of times. it’s a fairly typical brewpub experience, though I haven’t been thrilled with the service. Still, they have a wide range of brews, some fun seasonals and a nice patio. Wish this place existed when I was at Mt A.

Only came into Moncton for the brewpub but seems like a nice enough town. The pub is tucked onto a side street. Fun atmosphere. Super laid-back, spacious with lots of wood. Friendly service. Fun array of beers. In short, if you’ve made it out this far there is no excuse not to go.

Stopped in here for some lunch after flying in from Calgary before driving up to visit my parents. I had the greek pizza tasty! The service was excellent, very friendly. I had a half-pint of the Pail Ale and a half-pint of the current seasonal, Mild Dunkel Lager 3.6%. Comfortable surroundings with a notable lack of television screens (intentional?), which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. My only complaint is that it was very dark! I was in there at noon and had trouble reading the newspaper!

Stopped here in August last year to try the last sample of their own beer, the Orange Lane Wheat, having just come from a tasty meal and sampling at the Barnyard. Selection seemed good and the very long, winding bar opens the room up with all its square tables and half-barrel booths. Friendly staff left us alone at the bar but later made conversation when they found out about our travels. Nice atmosphere, lots of fire and police services paraphernalia.

Établissement visité le mardi 12 octobre vers 18h30. Ambiance: Comme le dit MartinT il s’agit d’un endroit assez bruyant. Plein de décoration relié à la bière sur les murs. Présence de télévision diffusant les matchs de hockey. Service: Lors de ma dernière visite j’avais été servi en français mais cette fois non. La serveuse ma présenté les deux bières de saison disponible (Wheat et Oktoberfest). Sélection: 7 bières régulières et 2 saisonnières étaient disponible. Possibilité d’avoir un plateau de dégustation de 9 verres. À noter que vous pouvez acheter, en boîte de six, les 3 bières qu’ils embouteillent. Nourriture: Notre brie chaud à l’ail, en entrée, était excellent. Les 2 burgers choisis (Le Brew Pub et le Cajun) était correct sans plus. La mayonnaise pour les frites n’est pas gratuite. (32e rating d’établissement)

Typical loud pub/restaurant with beer paraphernalia everywhere on the walls, serving very good thin-crusted pizzas (amongst other things), and a solid range of English-style ales. Nothing blew me away, but all were very drinkable and flavorful. I didn’t think this place was anything more than a very good generic brewpub, but more of these in most Canadian provinces would definitely be welcome.

Good food, I love the pizza & beer bread with aioli dipping sauce...yumm. Always dependable service usually with a couple cute girls on staff. I like the beers they are a nice change from the macros widely available across good beer-starved NB.

Stopped for lunch on my way to PEI and had some servicable brews and some darn tasty food including some beer bread served with 1000 island dressing. Intriguing. Kick ass hockey jerseys available were too rich for my blood at the time. Was pretty quiet while I was there, but it was kind of midday.

A brewpub that caters a bit to almost everyone. Decent beers, their bottled offerings really don’t do them justice, although nothing is super spectacular. Great place for lunch, with good pub style food. From what I’ve heard, it can be a bit of a night time hot spot. Always have 8 or 9 beers on tap, usually with 7 regular offerings and 2 seasonals. Sampler tray of all 9 is available, plus you can get an 8 oz size of any beer in a great tasting glass - almost like a small Fin Du Monde type glass.
