Dock Street Brews

Time:  rainy Sunday happy hour in April upper 60s F
Food:  thin crust wood-fired pizza

Beers: (F) Dock Street collection on tap (includes pils, wit, pale ale, IPA, porter)
DRAFT: YES

All the beers suffer from a lack of body and maturation.  The hops is all wrong as well -- for simplicity's sake, it's too hoppy, but actually, the hops is just unbalanced for the brews.  The only palatable beer is the wit, and even it is not anything to talk about.

The pizza, while more palatable, also suffers from a balance issue having a ratio of toppings which burdens the crust and creates sogginess.  The combo of toppings and the ingredients themselves are quite good -- it's just the balance thing.

A final remark: it's places like this that brew awful beer and offer mediocre fare, yet are packed thurs, fri and sat where I realize that we'll eat and drink pretty much anything.

Conclusion: don't waste your time -- better food and beer await elsewhere.
