Being used to the craft breweries in the USA, I'd done my homework and reviewed the beers listed on Untappd. So I was surprised when I was asked, "Blonde or Red?" But I admire a brewery that limits itself to a couple beers only. The red very cloudy but very pleasant.

The beer was decent but the customer service was seriously lacking. I think they are wildly…read moreunderstaffed. I also booked a reservation on OpenTable. They had my reservation (he referenced a sheet) but after I left the restaurant (after dining), I received an email asking why I didn't show up for my reservation. So perhaps they aren't super organized. After I sat down, I ordered beer and it came. Then I sat there for an uncomfortably long time without anyone coming to see if I wanted to order food. Someone finally came to take my order. A table that was seated after me was able to order and get their food before I could even place my order. When the staff was present, the service was great, but it took me a long time to get through this meal and to get out due to all the waiting. Be ready for this if you choose to come here.

I went on the 65 minute English language brewery tour on a Saturday afternoon. Jürgen was our tour…read moreguide and he did a great job. In addition to other guests, there was a group of 12 guys who were on a bachelor party. I'm mentioning this because they were very disruptive but that's not Jürgen's fault and he did his best with the situation. There is a brewing room that you walk through with explanations of the different stages of the beer brewing process. In the back is a tasting room and most of the tour took place there. We all sat around a table while the guide poured and explained the beers. There appears to be a slideshow and we looked at some of the slides that identified the three beers we tried but I think because the slides were in German, we didn't see the full presentation. The tour was a nice diversion and although I have been on many brewery tours, I still learned something from this one, particularly about German beer. After the tour, your hand stamp gets you a discount in the gift shop.

Pork knuckles - Yum! Almost like smoked ham, but with the skin on and fried to a crispy crunch!…read more I mentioned to my German friend that I wanted to try the traditional pork knuckle in Hannover during my visit, and this is where she took me. Didn't disappoint! Our party of 4 ordered various dishes... I did the pork knuckle, 2 types of schnitzels, and steak ... and all were A-okay! Portions were on the larger side, and the prices seemed to be above average, but all everything tasted good! They also make craft beer, and the one I tried was A-okay! Not the most heart friendly meal, but what the heck, I don't visit Germany every month! Once is 30 years must be okay! ;) Lots of seating inside, and covered tables outside. We ate our lunch during the weekday and we could just walk up without any reservations. So a nice (very filling) experience for me!

We had to wait a few minutes but honestly we were sat very quickly. Our server was AWESOME!! She recommended several beers as well as dishes. It took us so long to finally decide because as we were scanning the menu, dishes were arriving all around us and we got distracted. Oktoberfest was a few days prior to our arrival but I opted for an Oktoberfest bier. I have to add that I'm not a huge beer drinker but I just had to. Everyone at our table ordered something different;

Pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to rustic, german food. Great house-beers too…read more Personally I don´t care much about the decor but that´s all forgotten when I sit down to have one of their beers and a plate piled high with delicious, simple, german food. Service is quick too, could be friendlier though. Don´t let the decor scare you away - you want this. Trust me.
