As always, my friend and I shared beers; we ordered 2 choices, an IPA and an Amber Red Ale, both of which were quite good. This was our 3rd visit to the Brewery; our 1st visit was part of a Riverside Crawl featuring local businesses providing drink samples; we were given a tour and beer samples. At our 2nd visit shortly before X-Mas 2019 we sat and shared beers at the bar. The Brewery has specials/discounts and trivia Events and is a nice addition to the neighbourhood.

It was not the best he had on the trip but it was definitely better than what you can get in Vancouver compared to all the craft breweries. You can taste the flavor in the beer and as well it was not hoppy tasting. The drink itself was very refreshing. Service was good. We definitely need to come back one day to try out their food.

I'm unhappy with the service I received there. I had been give a fifty dollar gift card to…read moreBrothers Brewing Company and they only provided four cans of beer (or I could sit down and drink four pints by myself in the middle of the afternoon - that was the other option). For a retirement gift, my boss had bought $50 gift certificates to six micro breweries in Guelph, which has been great. We've had dinner at some, but at others, I have just bought cans of beer to go (usually I put in a bit more cash and get 18 cans). This place must not have had a proper gift certificate, because I just had a "pint card" (4 beers value - $34) and the balance was rung up as 2 X 473mL lagers, for about $50. I explained to the server that I was sure this was meant to represent a $50 gift card and she said it was just a pint card and my boss must have drank the two tall boys there (while touring around Guelph to get gift cards at 2pm). Anyway, I finally took the 4 cans, which were $34 plus tax, although for $30, you could get 6 cans. I'm probably going on too long about this, but I feel like I was ripped off and this is my only way to deal with it, emotionally. Anyway, I will never go back there again, and please, never buy a gift certificate from this establishment.

We went on a weekday evening, so it was pretty quiet. The wooden tables and seating added a more laid-back vibe. The Chicken Karaage was good - big chunks of chicken and crispy.

Rorschach offers two cocktails from a can, an espresso martini and margarita (both $15) that our…read moreserver warned isn't made fresh. Got it, I lowered my expectations and found both drinkable but diluted the margarita to combat its excessive sugariness. If anything, their menu was the perfect hearty base before a night of drinking. Having shared two of their sandwiches, the smashed burger ($21) was a hit. The potato bun was topped with two generous sized beef patties that are a little thick for a smashed burger but still had a nice crust. I liked that there was plenty of fixings including lettuce, tomato, cheese, caramelized onion, pickles, and a house sauce to give it interest. This was a tasty burger. Meanwhile, the potato bun disintegrated with the Korean fried chicken sando ($21) making it difficult to eat. Still, the chicken breast was hot and juicy with plenty of breading to give it a crunchy bite. But despite the liberal smear of gochujang mayo, it wasn't overly spicy and needed more heat. Adding some lettuce with the pickles may also help create a barrier between the bun and sauce to ensure the bread can hold up better. Maybe Rorschach's supplier gave them a bushel of the tiny potatoes, but their fries were cut so small... it's like eating Hickory sticks in fry form. You'd think a smaller fry means more crispy edges, but we just found they were really dried out. Rorschach Brewing Co's dining room is surprisingly spacious with picnic tables scattered throughout to accommodate varying sized tables. They were understaffed for a Friday, but the two servers did their best and made sure our large table was served and out in time for the concert. Perhaps they even breathed a sigh of relief once we vacated. So long loud ladies, we can go back to swigging beers.
