We were very excited to visit a mead house when visiting the area. I am normally a wine drinker and…read moremy boyfriend loves mead. The experience: The grounds are well maintained and there is definitely strong wedding vibe. There is a large room rather like a church as well as outdoor areas that I assume are used for beautiful on-site weddings. The server was very friendly and tasting flights are reasonably priced. There were two friendly dogs hanging out behind the bar. The mead bottles have very cool labels. Plenty of seating when we visited. When it came to tasting, two of the three wines were sold out. We tried the one that was available. It tasted like pure vinegar. I don't know if it had gone bad or if it always tastes that way. The mead was way too sweet and fruity for me. My boyfriend thought the mead was okay but I was disappointed.

I really enjoyed the pumpkin queso paired with the wine it was very interesting and different but a great fall spin on the classic.

Erie Brewing continues to put out stellar beer. Highly recommend.

I've seen this spot go through so many iterations of name, execution, menu, and seating over the years. But it now "seems" to have stabilized somewhat. They do a kinda weird but not too crazy thing. Drinks can be ordered at your seat, food must be ordered at a window. Two seperate checks. Not insane, not convenient, but it's fine. Kinda sets these into the weird "Do I tip you both? Do I tip you at all?" Like it operates like a brewery but with the food "process" of Panera. Whatever. Anyway. So, before I say this - they get some credit because they "made it right" without me pressing. My food was given to another patron and I was waiting for 45 minutes before I asked what the deal was. They offered me a free app - appreciated. Meal wasn't comped but they felt bad, they fired up mine fresh, was ready in 15. Also, from the other guests, I seemed like an anomaly so I wouldn't let this fluke that they rectified be that impactful on my overall feelings. The burger was good. Their namesake burger. Overall very solid. Not an all-timer. But if I was craving a burger - this would satisfy it. Tots were solid too.

Loved the peach beer myself (just the one) and my spouse enjoy his 3 ipa's. Met good patrons, which always tells me about a place. Pickle pizza hit the spot! And to make it 100% id suggest adding Sriracha or ranch drizzle? It needed just one *something.* but also totally brilliant without.

I stopped by here a number of weekends ago now with my wife for lunch and some drinks. We had been…read morelooking for a brewery in Erie to visit after the Erie Marathon whenever Lavery Brewing popped up on Yelp. This place is large and has both outdoor seating on the side as well as plenty of indoor seating. The inside looked like a mix of cozy and industrial, with a long wooden bar stretching the length of the room, warm pendant lights hanging overhead, colorful beer boards on the wall, and shelves lined with bottles and glassware behind the bar. It had a relaxed but lively feel to it. After looking around to figure out where we wanted to sit, we ultimately chose the bar. For lunch on this day I chose to go with the pimento smash deluxxxe while my wife went with the pesto pizza. The menu described my meal as two smash patties, bacon, American cheese, pimento cheese, and onion rings on a brioche bun while my wife's was described as parsley basil pesto, triple cheese blend, fire roasted tomatoes with a balsamic glaze. I thought that the burger here was delicious as the patties were seasoned nicely and I appreciated the onion rings. While there was plenty of cheese and it was flavorful, I almost could have used more of the pimento. Then my wife liked her pizza here especially the pesto combined with the fire roasted tomatoes. Then for drinks, as I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight here. At Lavery Brewing, a flight consists of 6 beers and I chose the Active Recovery, Seeking Clarity, Lime n Cuke, Throwing Tropical Shade, Sound Mild, and Divine Intervention for my flight. I first started with the Active Recovery which was light and hoppy and very drinkable. Up second was the Seeking Clarity which had a clean start before a heavy dose of hops in the middle which surprisingly didn't linger. Third was the Lime n Cuke which has a strong cucumber smell and the drink itself is dry like most goses with a mild lime and stronger cucumber flavor. Fourth was Throwing Tropical Shade and you could really taste the orange and other tropical flavors with a finish flavor of coconut. For me this was a really delicious beer. Up fifth was the Sound Mild which was light but you got the nice flavor of those toasted malts at the finish. Last but certainly not least was the Divine Intervention which had a strong coconut flavor on the finish. Out of the bunch my favorite ended up being the Throwing Tropical Shade. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed the beverages and the food and we left both happy and stuffed.

Also I have an issue with my gulping reflex; meaning I drink a bit faster than your average swine. So the distillery thing never really appealed to me. As luck would have it I only had about 45 minutes to kill so I figured I couldn't do all that much damage. Dam that stuff is great. I had a vodka and tonic - the best I ever had! I also consumed a Mamajuana. Some kinda witch doctor special that I fell in love with. Flavors I had never consumed before. As i am just a neophyte don't take my recommendation. However there were travelers in the pub who seemed much more professional in these areas. they each had 4 shots and a mixed drink...and walked out the door with 3 different bottles of hard alcohol. So I think it was as good as i thought it was. Could assuredly use some snacks- which they do not have. Atmosphere is quiet. Distiller\Owner\Operator is knowledgeable and friendly. He pours a nice drink as well.

She had several opportunities to say she had a customer and wait on me, but didn't. I waited a while, parked in the middle of the store, then turned around and left. She came outside and asked if I needed something, but I waved her off. I have always left her a tip because she has been so helpful before, but now I'm not sure I want to go back. The local Country Fair now sells my favorite for 50 cents less but she told me her fiancé owns the store and I prefer supporting small businesses. I'll probably try again and explain to her why I left. I'm sure she remembers me. She always knew what I wanted before. Mostly to be waited on, then the beer.
