Went there this weekend gone as they've reopened after Christmas/New Year. I seem to recall having one of their beers somewhere else but I forget what and where.
Anyway, it's small shop - they've a few of tables for 6-8 people each and can probably hold maybe 30 all in? But it's very cute and intimate, like rocking up and drinking from someone's brew cave - which essentially is what you're doing. They had 12 different beers on tap when I went and offer up $15 tasting paddles with four different beers.
My first paddle, I went (if I can recall correctly) for the wheat IPA, extra pale ale, wheat ale and I forget the last one. Stand out beer from this selection was the wheat IPA. It was a cracker. I had a sip of the dark ale which was a mid strength and another cracker. I should have gone for that on my second paddle.
Second paddle, went for the strong amber ale, bitter amber ale, hefeweizen and the berry berliner weisse. Stand outs on this one was the strong and bitter amber ales. Both were delicious and my kind of beer. I'm not a massive hefe drinker but I have been determined to get more into it and I did enjoy that one. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it and on point to the style. The berliner weisse wasn't for me. I'm just not a sour drinker - sadly, I'm not cool enough to drink sours!
I really liked this place, the couple running the place were excellent and really friendly and luckily both close to where I live and close to the home brew shop! I foresee myself visiting Blackfont on a regular basis. Great beers, great venue, top notch!
