Lion is a longtime home brewer in addition to being an overall fan of craft beers. He needed to…read morestop and pick up some supplies, and as this place was close to a spot where we met friends for lunch, we headed over. Artisan Home Brew is a business that has been here for quite some time, which says something in the era of home brew becoming popular, then fading from popularity. Lots of places sprung up during that time, then closed as demand dropped. That they have survived shows their dedication to the art of home brewing and their understanding of who their customer is and what they're looking for. This is not a fancy place, nor is it a place for people to stop and pick up a six pack. They don't sell beer, just all the ingredients and supplies, along with some supplies for wine making. They have some beginner supplies, kits and such, though this is a small part of their inventory. It's an old space with clean swept wooden floors and exposed beam ceilings, part of which have coasters from various craft breweries stapled. Shelves are unadorned, lined with various items, bins of different grains line one wall. The staff are quite knowledgable and friendly, with a club-like atmosphere where discussing the craft is as important, if not more important, then selling the product. Lion joined in on the banter, then made his purchase with a firm handshake and a thanks from both. I have a feeling this is going to become a place he visits often.

This was a GOOD visit! First off... I didn't even know…read moreDowningtown had a downtown! And then we found East Branch Brewing Company. Five beers we really liked. Brussels sprouts cooked in an AMAZING sauce. And then... a pickle bowl?! Who knew I would love a pickle bowl?!? But wait... PICKLED GRAPES?! I'm not kidding. They're GOOD. Like... really, really good! Great beer. Great food. Great pickles. Great visit! And I'm pretty sure this place used to be a firehouse because that fire hydrant handrail is one of the coolest little touches I've seen. East Branch Brewing... you've officially made the rotation.

Overall, our experience was good, but not sure we would come back. We saw the rooftop umbrellas as…read morewe were driving down Main Street and thought it looked good so we stopped in. There was a nice big parking lot that was right next to the restaurant. We first tried to sit on the rooftop, they had a bunch of picnic tables up there. The ambiance was nice, but the way the sun was in the sky there was no shade. We chose to sit inside instead. It was fairly empty for 6pm on a Saturday. Our waitress was super nice. Husband and I each got a beer (brewed on site). They were good, happy to see a large selection that wasn't all IPAs. We started with the soft pretzel. It was tasty, big and soft. Husband got the brisket noodles. He loved them, but agreed with the menu warning that they were very spicy. I got the fried chicken sandwich. It was okay, nothing special. Kids each got the chicken nuggets and fries. The chicken was fresh hand breaded chicken breast. The French fries were very overdone. Overall, it was fine, but nothing worth coming back for.

In the last few weeks I've hiked trails near Downingtown twice. After my first hike, I came across…read morethe Station Taproom as a place where I hoped to get a beer (or two) while I was waiting for the train back home. After my second hike no question that I wanted to come back here for another visit. Station Taproom is an attractive and comfortable pub with what I found to be an unexpected menu. Many dishes had an Asian influence, but with the additional plus of showcasing some exciting combinations of ingredients. VEGAN BANH MI ::: I had this on my first visit. The sandwich was made with plant-based meatballs, along with carrots, cucumber, plus much more in the mix. (I detected a note of hoisin in the mix, though not mentioned in the menu). "Meatballs" were definitely unexpected in a banh mi. WONTON NACHOS ::: On my second visit to the Taproom, which was last week, I had "wonton nachos". As per the menu, some of the ingredients were "hoisin-berry BBQ pork" as well as mozzarella and pepper jack, and wonton chips. Presentation was important, and I could see that they had spent extra time in plating the dish. A finishing touch was the "micro cilantro" that was delicately sprinkled over the top. I love cilantro, but had never seen it in "micro" form. It was very fresh, wondering now whether they grew it themselves. BEERS ::: On both my visits, "Rachel" made excellent recommendations for hazy IPA's. Great experiences both times.

I love Station. Great place for a beer and a game. They have the best French fries on earth...read more

Restaurant Rating: 4/5 Service Rating: 4/5…read moreFood Rating: 3/5 Parking: Free Parking Lot Restaurant: This restaurant is quite fascinating, as it is housed in a former firehouse. There's plenty of seating available, including options in the bar area and outside. Service: The service was good; our waitress was attentive and professional. Food: Here's what we ordered: *Chips and Queso: Just okay for the price; any store-bought queso would do the job. *Beer Battered Fish: Very good. *Achiote Shrimp: Very good. *Side of Fries: Cold and stale. It seemed like the fries were cooked too early and left sitting out before being served. Conclusion: If you're craving tacos and don't have other options nearby, this place will do. However, it's not really worth the price, with small tacos costing around $6-$8.50 each. There also seems to be a common complaint about food coming out cold, likely due to poor temperature control or coordination in the kitchen.

Value: You get plenty of food to take home, just wish it were better. Experience: Meh ... probably not going back. I so want to like this place - the kitchen is definitely the weak link. This place was probably good when Italy won the world cup in '82, but that was then and this is now. Like the soccer team, they didn't qualify. :-(
