I've had a few 2SP beers on draft a local bars, so it was a treat to visit the place where the magic happens. The tap selection is all encompassing. There's something for everyone! The menu included both a nitro and cask option, both of which have been hard to come by in pandemic times. I enjoyed the outdoor patio space, and the visiting food truck offered some delicious options to accompany our beers. I sampled the Voluptuous Fuzz and the Easy Peasy - both crisp and refreshing. The outdoor patio is both kid and dog friendly, and the wait staff does a good job of checking-in. 2SP receives bonus points for great parking, accessibility, clean bathrooms, and proximity to Subaru Park.

My partner and I enjoyed our time at Shipbottom brewery at Linvilla Orchards. The brewery was…read morepretty big and there were plenty of seating even on a busy fall day. We specifically stopped by to try their seasonal October beer called Ecto Ghouler. It was very orangey! Almost as if this beer were a mimosa. It was a little too citrusy for my preference but it was a fun drink. Maybe if you love orange juice you'll like this. We also tried their hard apple cider which was delicious - reminded me of apple pie. Overall the beers were good, the venue was spacious, and the pumpkin patch was cute! I'd definitely come back

We went on a Sat, weekend hours open at 12 but the owner of the brewery gave us the insider news they'll be opening earlier on Sundays for brunch! Walk down the stairs from the food vendor area outside of the general store and you'll find the brewery tucked down in its own private area. Connect4, jenga, bag toss, etc all around to occupy your time. A wine / sangria bar was set up from a local winery and the taps from SB were flowing on the other side. The area is fun and brings a beach vibe to the farm. Music wasn't too loud and there are plenty of spots to sit. Table seating is communal, each has a spot for an umbrella if you prefer shade. We had a great time & a few very good beers. We brought food down from the food vendor area and camped out for an hour or so. Even my almost 3yo was occupied with the games and another kid hanging out. Super fun. Plan to go back soon. This was such a much needed addition to Linvilla we hope they intend to stay.

I'm grateful that Sterling Pig has the taste and integrity to serve real potato French fries. I've stopped buying fries most places because it's all reconstituted junk anymore, but Sterling Pig's are legit. Thank you! Pulled pork is well rendered with expected flavor and is just simple and satisfying as it should be; grilled meat. No hint of a water bath or any of the cockamamie things some cooks can do to pork meat. Not super smokey but it doesn't need to be, and it doesn't need sauce either which means it's good meat to eat alone. Brisket had all the desired flavor but loads of fat. I don't like paying for gristle and fat when I pay by the pound. Otherwise, they are one of the few places up here who can get flavor right. Big Bad Wolf in Aston used to make great burnt ends with delicious flavor but quality waned last time I tried it. All in all Sterling Pig is pretty good and if you're not used to weeks of GA BBQ every year like we are, you're definitely in for a treat among local options.

The bar tender kept saying that they just tapped those kegs but what he meant is that the kegs 'kicked' as they were no longer available. Our flights were ok but not the best craft beer I've tried.

It's the kind of place where you can pull up a stool, have a drink, and forget about the outside world for a while. Definitely a great little spot worth checking out.

The food was always great. Gian should really pay attention who he hires serving drinks to the kitchen staff. As he stated in a comment it is illegal. We are not haters. We frequented your place several times a week and the new staff will bring it to its knees. Now that Marco, Abby, Tori and Mikaela are gone it's been sub par. The bartender waited until the owner left and then looked up Long Island Iced Teas and poured them in large Pepsi cups. Hopefully he had camera footage to handle it.

The bar has a good mix of sports being broadcast on TVs. I could watch live hockey, basketball and baseball easily. It's a solid place to grab some comfort food and drinks. The fish & chips plate is respectable; has 3 good-sized fillets with a nice rémoulade sauce. I found the caesar salad to be decent and when requested that dressing and cheese come on the side, it was no problem. The famous kennett square mushroom soup is too intense. Strong portobello mushrooms dominate and concentrated truffle oil only increases this, doesn't offer any counterbalance. Staffers are friendly.

The only thing that really WOWED me was the butter that came with the croissant. I can eat that whole thing by itself. Very creamy with a hint of zest. Yum! As far as the croissants was concerned, some tasted like it was stale. The pork schnitzel (4/5) entrée was pretty good. I didn't care for the sausage and gravy topping though. Would've been better without it. Anyway, the mashed potatoes were creamy, buttery, and airy. The greens were garlicky and kind of salty. Grilled chicken Caesar (2.5/5) salad was okay. The dressing lacked in a lot of ways. More citrusy and less saltiness from anchovies. The mushroom bisque was a little grainy. Would I care for coming back? Maybe. Not anytime soon though.
