88 AMBIANCE 5/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 13/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 9/10 OVERALL 18/20 Travlr (999) Washington, Washington DC | July 10, 2012 This is a pizza joint. It’s an Italian deli. It’s a beer store. Oh, and it’s a brewpub. Hard to find, we passed it three times, and actually switched to a different GPS, then had to stop and ask at the hotel across the street. It was worth the effort. Filled to the brim with locals, plus a steady parade of people coming in for pizzas or growler fills (and, oddly, a case of PBR or Miller Lite - fools!). The pizza is terrific, and the beers are interesting enough to keep coming back. Plus, the selection of guest taps is very solid. And the prices?? $4 a beer, holy cow! Great place, and now that Terry Hawbaker is brewing here, I’ll definitely be back. | 84 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 10/10 SELECTION 13/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 16/20 DiarmaidBHK (523) Pennsylvania | July 10, 2011 What a find this place is. It’s in the middle of nowhere but there were a lot of people there on a Sunday night. The turn is a bit tight so watch out for it.. I didn’t have the food so I can’t talk of it. They had over 20 taps and most of them were unusual or rare selections for the area. They do a lot regional craft and also there seems to be some Belgiaphilia there as well. They sell growlers of their draft but they also sell samplers as well. They also have a fairly sizable make your own sixer section. It’s a bit pricey at $14 a sixer but your are getting it 1. cold and 2. to go from a restaurant so it could be worse. The also had a nice large bottle selection including 4 from Lost Abbey which I was shocked to find.. I thought Philly was the only place you could find it on the east coast. The guy behind the counter was really nice as well. I’ll definitely stop back when I’m in the area. | 76 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 13/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 15/20 Drake (392) Ivy, Virginia | September 6, 2012 Located in a mini-strip mall next to a fairly residential area. It’s RIGHT off the interstate, which makes it convenient. It’s a pizza/sub kinda joint, and the bacon cheeseburger sub I had was tasty. It was fairly steady the whole time I was there especially for mid-day on a work day. I can imagine this place gets crowded. Lots of taps with their own beers and a lot of other high quality craft beers, including up to three cask options at a time (I had Thirsty Dog Wee Heavy on Cherries). The four Pizza Boy (the house brand) beers I had were all good. A sampler of 5 beers is $10 and my total bill including tax was less than $19. Prices on full pours looked solid. They fill growlers but I didn’t see growler fill prices. Tons of bottle options to go. Some prices were high, some were quite reasonable. The people there were really helpful and friendly. If I lived around here, this would be my local. | 80 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 13/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 16/20 GT2 (343) Riverslime, California | July 11, 2012 Very cool place enjoyed after a Troeg’s Splinter release. Unassuming exterior. Inside it is crowded, cramped, and a lot of fun. Heavy, large portion Italian food served very informally. Just eat your food from a red plastic basket on a red and white checkerboard table cloth. I had a pretty boss Italian sub. But you are surrounded by fridges of craft beer everywhere and quite a lot of top notch stuff on tap as well. Very interesting concept. I found Alesmith, Lost Abbey, Ballast Point, Hair of the Dog, and local PA stuff. Bottle prices were a little on the expensive side for the gray market stuff. Tap beers are very cheap and are all listed on a organized flat panel monitor so you can see exactly what is on tap. Quick service, fun atmosphere. Just slightly overwhelming and a bit cramped. Also in the middle of nowhere. Now they have a new brewer, former brewer for Cabinet Artisanal and Bullfrog, so their "Pizza Boy" house beers should be getting quite awesome. | 62 AMBIANCE 2/5 SERVICE 5/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 5/10 VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 12/20 gsmitty80 (163) Washington DC | August 9, 2011 Don’t mean to give a bad rating but, i came around 5PM on a Tuesday and wasn’t ready for the dinner "rush". There wasn’t anywhere to sit except for tables or booths that were for 4 people (all of them). Once I did about 4 or 5 families with infants came in. Not a very good atmosphere to sit and drink a beer. I had a brooklyn concoction and i dont know if it was the lines or the age of the beer or maybe just the beer but it was terrible. The slice of pizza was extremely greasy and sub-par. I hear they are opening their own brewpub in the basement so maybe they can make that the showpiece. Selection was good though for 6 packs and about 20 beers on tap. | 80 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 13/15 FOOD 7/10 VALUE 6/10 OVERALL 16/20 JulienHuxley (130) Trois-Rivieres, Quebec | August 26, 2012 Cool place, just off I-81. It’s pretty small and can get quite packed. The pizza is good, they have subs on as well that look delicious. Great variety of beer to drink on premises, it also doubles as a beer store where you can buy mixed singles. The prices are good for restaurant, a tad expensive for carry-out. They do growler fills of almost everything on tap too. Their beers are also quite tasty. | 74 AMBIANCE 3/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 14/20 BREWMUSKCLES (101) New Jersey | October 18, 2012 like a smallish pizza joint with really good beer and good food crammed in. a few tables with stools and tv. pizza counter with good Italian food and an herb type tomato sauce. good bottle collection and home brewed type beers. each catagory could have gone a point higher but the area’s folks seem a bit depressed...i oughta know. | 80 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 7/10 SELECTION 14/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 15/20 nickd717 (80) San Francisco, California | January 7, 2011 Pretty legit beer bar/restaurant/store way out in the boonies west of Enola - not close to much other than the I-81/PA-581 junction. Came here with a bunch of guys from the Harrisburg crew when I was in town recently. The tap list is extensive and interesting. I had Terrapin Wake-n-Bake on cask, which was outstanding. The food is pretty solid. The cheese steak pizza was amazing, but man, that shit will put pounds on you! There is also a very good selection of bottles available. I picked up a DFH My Antonia, some Central Waters beers (which I didn’t expect to see), and other stuff. Prices seemed to be on the cheaper side, but then again I’ve been living in Ripoffland, California for way too long, so don’t trust me on that. I met Al, who seemed to be a good guy and knowledgeable and passionate about beer. Next time I’m back in my old stomping grounds of Hummelstown, PA (the HTP) I’ll make a point to get back out here. I hear they’re getting a growler-filling station pretty soon, which will be awesome! | 88 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 14/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 8/10 OVERALL 18/20 orangesol (73) Pennsylvania | August 30, 2011 Not the biggest place in the world, in fact it is downright small, but it makes up for it with good food and even better beer. I have tried just about everything on the menu now and have never been disappointed. The subs are great, and the pizza’s are even better. I prefer the buffalo chicken pizza and or boil.
Now on to the good part, the beer selection. Simply put, there is no better selection of beers on the west shore. From the 24 taps, 4 on nitro, to the 3 cask hand pulls, you will not find a better selection anywhere in the area. The mix-a-six for $13 is a good deal if you are looking to try multiple things. They also fill, and sell, growlers with most of the normal tap beers. They will soon be opening their own brewery in the basement making all kinds of interesting things...Simply put, you will not find a better place for beer in this entire area, period.
| 86 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 14/15 FOOD 8/10 VALUE 5/10 OVERALL 17/20 Nejhleader (71) Lemoyne, Pennsylvania | October 9, 2010| Updated May 2, 2013 Pizza Boy now. New place is really nice, decent size dining area, much needed, old place was tiny. Still an amazing supply of taps and some bottles. Food is also very yummy and the prices are fair. |
