Bellwoods Brewery

Took a trip to the lovely Bellwoods Brewery, what a spot! We were promptly greeted by a friendly server, Mallory, who asked us what we were up to tonight and invited us in for a drink as though she lived here.  A rustic farmhouse atmosphere; mismatched tables and chairs and reclaimed wood adorned the dining room, the beer menu displayed on an intricately decorated chalk board, the food on card stock menus on miniature clipboards.  We ordered ourselves some beverages (even gluten free beer for Maegan, my girlfriend, who is a celiac) and some food as well.  Well seared duck hearts were tender and flavorful, the olive selection fresh, the salad of brussels sprouts and bacon refreshing and rich at the same time.  We also dug into goat braised in tomato sauce, served on a bed of polenta (pictured above), which was obscenely tasty.  Beer taps were from the house selection, and ranged greatly, the bottles were mostly rare premium Belgian brews.  I enjoyed a few of the house beers, White Picket Fence (a Belgian styled Wit), Monogamy Nelson Sauvin (a APA series from the brewery that uses the same grain bill but a different kind of hop for each beer, this one featuring exotic and fruity Nelson Sauvin), Roman Candle IPA and the Witchshark IIPA.  Bill came to a staggeringly low $80 with tip.

A great place to go catch a beer, or a bite, and be sure to visit their bottle shop next door that sells their beer in take home formats!  Bombers and growlers!
