The Beer Traveller

After driving hung-over, the last thing I wanted was to start beer sampling.  Sometimes you just have to take one for the team!  I pulled in to Rapid City to find Firehouse Brewing Co.  I actually passed another Sanford’s Pub & Grub; part of me really wanted to stop & try their other 2 beers, but between being hung-over & my last expereince I made the executive decision to skip that stop.

Firehouse appears to be exactly that, an old brick firehouse.  It’s a large 2 floor establishment w/ an outside patio.  The boys @ Crow Peak warned me not to expect much in reference to the house beers, but I always try to keep an open mind when drinking…sometimes the drinking opens it further.

Michelle (bartender) gratiously greeted me w/ a sampler of all their beers.  The boys @ Crow Peak were right.  The Firestorm Ale was the only Likable of the bunch.  Brown Cow Ale, Eagle Pale Ale, Prodigy, Smoke Jumper Stout, & Wilderness Wheat were all given a Drinkable.  The food & the service, on the other hand, were great!
