4700 Cherry Creek Drive South
Denver, CO
This is a comfortable pub, with and English pub feel, dark wood, low ceilings, A very comfortable place to just hang out and drink great beer. And the beer here is very good, overall. The food is also excellent. The stonehenge stout barbeque sauce is outstanding, and the chicken tenders have a unique and tasty crust. Reid had what he calls an excellent tuna melt, which could perhaps be improved by ordering it without the advocado.
Beers
Happy Hop Pilsner Reid 4, Rox 4 A very drinkable pilsner, refreshing, not overpowering, mild aftertaste.
Big Ben Brown Ale 3.5 Reid, subtle flavor. 4.5 Rox, nice caramel flavors, complex and yummy overall.
The Tower ESB, Reid 3..5 some flavor I can't pinpoint, like the foam. Rox 4 good mouthfeel, malty aftertaste, pretty nicely balanced.
Hail Brau Hefeweizen Reid 3.5 more fruity than I'd like, otherwise pretty good. Rox 2.5 Nice wheat flavors and mouthfeel, but banana aftertaste lowered overall score.
Allgood Ale (Amber) Rox 3, Reid 3 A nice amber, Reid thought it was a tad flat.
A little hoppy.
Man Beer IPA Reid 4.5, "hoppy punch up the ass" Rox 4, a very drinkable IPA,
Stonehenge Stout Reid 4 Same flavors as the brown, magnified. Rox 4.5 really nice flavors - chocolately and creamy.
BarleyWine Rox 4.5 nice flavor, a little stong at first taste. I'm not much of a barley wine drinker, but this was very nice. Reid 4.5 strong alcohol and syrupy flavors. Might even be a 5, but since we haven't explored barley wines much, we are reserving room at the top.....
Root Beer Good maybe a little too sweet and not fizzy enough for my taste.
Then we visited the Denver Botanical Gardens:
Later we went to the Irish Snug for trivia, which was fun, but we weren't among the highest ranked teams at the end of the night. They have fantastic nachos, on waffle fries instead of chips, toasted sangers with chips, and shepherd's pie. They also have a good selection of beers and great happy hour specials 3-7 p.m. weekdays.
