Foundry Ale Works Reviews

a10555	4.5 Foundry Breakfast Blend Oh My God! Like many of the breakfast restaurants, this is good at any time of day. Beautiful dark color and a nice smooth alcohol burn. I love this beer and will grab some any time I see it. Friday, December 7, 2007
motoman	4.4 Foundry Breakfast Blend Goes great with eggs, pancakes, french toast , butter and maple syrup. Sausage and bacon go well with this terrific breakfast brew. Had me tanked very early in the morning. Friday, February 6, 2004
Hotspur2001	4.6 Foundry Breakfast Blend One of the strongest coffee tasting beers I've ever had. A wonderful beer - very similar to Church Street Brewery's Coffee Porter (in Berea (Cleveland, OH)). Unfortunately the brewery closed down in June of this year. Saturday, December 20, 2003
Drew	3.6 Foundry India Pale Ale While driving around Pittsburgh, I spotted this place and jumped out of the car to buy a growler to go - Drank it back at the hotel a couple of hours later. This is a nice IPA, although maybe it weighs in a little too much on the malty side - the hops were there in force, but the sweet malts kept winning. I'd drink more of this for sure.

ravidesai	3.8 Foundry Back Biter hazy amber, foamy bubbly head. peppercorns in the aroma. taste is an interesting blend of cirusy and piney hops blended with pepper. the floral hops do balance the harsher aspects of the pepper well lending the beer a nice mild white pepper bite. good for hopheads into spicy food but probably too harsh for most, still a rathe unique beverage. Friday, November 22, 2002
VENOM	3.8 Foundry Back Biter Hazy dark orange. Gluey, dense off white head. Light and steady carbonation. Aroma of freshly cracked black pepper and citrus. Gentle feel and a mildly carbonated body. Spicy pepper right off the bat. A thick citric hop flavor and bitterness beneath. Medium body. Juicy sweetness. Long, spicy aftertaste which tingles the tongue and throat long after. Finishes with a grapefruit juiciness and spicy pepper bite. Would be ideal with heavy food, kind of harsh all alone. Sunday, November 10, 2002

ravidesai	4.5 Foundry Breakfast Blend great experimental brew. A mild cream stout loaded with espresso beans. has a sweet coffee aroma like a mocha or latte. very dark colour with almost no head. has a sweet nutty flavor. the coffee is instantly aparent as is some chocolate, macadamia nuts. has an effect similar to an 'irish car bomb' drink(Guiness + baileys) would score higher if it were not as syrupy.
