On Location-World of Beer

World of Beer
New Jersey

Location- World of Beer
335 George St 
New Brunswick NJ 

Info: I decided that I'm going to review a few places, some large some small, to grab a beer every once in a while. Last night after a movie we stopped at World of Beer in New Brunswick. 

Look- It doesn't look like much on the outside, with just a generic feel and World of Beer sign. There's a few tables outside as well. Inside it's pretty cool, bar to the right and yup full of beer.. Cases upon cases of beer. Don't forget the tap, a very large selection on tap as well. There's bar seating, table seating, pub table seating and there's plenty of room. It's not like you're thrown together like cattle. I liked the leg and elbow room. 

Feel- It was not cozy in that I had room to breathe. There's plenty of space to move around. I didn't feel like I was falling over people walking in, or around. The wait staff was very pleasant aside from one guy not knowing where drinks went... He kept asking us if we had ordered something. At one point we joked about saying yes and hoping it went on another tab... It was a joke, we wouldn't have done it, or would we? Lol

Tastes- Upon sitting we got menus, they were not the only beers they had. We were given a tablet and voila!!!! BEER! Type in the country, abv, style etc etc and it narrowed down what it had. It was a bit overwhelming lol

Opinion: I liked the place. I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of beers they had. It was a little loud when the band played, as opposed to the music over the PA system. The band wasn't horrible, just for lack of a better word, too loud. We could not speak and we were two feet from each other. When the music was on, (not the band) it was much easier to have a conversation. It's probably just me, so I won't hold it against them. The patrons were probably mostly mid 20s to mid 30s (present company excluded of course) in no way did I feel out of place being there so that was cool too. The waitress was very polite and helpful. She asked numerous times if we were ok and was pretty good at getting everything in a timely fashion. The beer selection is huge and vast, I picked 2 beers, one they did not have which was disappointing as I was really looking forward tot that one, so I settled for a 2nd choice and it wasn't that good lol my second beer was much better. If I'm rating this on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a solid 8. As even I was overwhelmed, I. An only imagine others. Maybe there could be a Best sellers list, or a staff recommends list for people who want to try something new but aren't sure what to get. As I said, cool place, I'd definitely recommend it and go again. Cheers!

Happy Birthday America part 2

James E. Pepper
1776 Ale


Brewery- Georgetown Trading Co

Country- Kentucky USA

ABV- 10.4%

Look- it looks a lot like cola... Very bubbly. Brownish with a foamy head

Smell- smells very syrup like, with a hint of whiskey.

Feel- It's pretty carbonated. 

Taste- it's quite strong. There's a definite taste of heavy syrup. It even burned the esophagus going down. It's definitely heavier on the whiskey than the  last one I reviewed and there is a taste that lingers on the tongue... Whiskey taste

Opinion- I like this one a lot. Not too strong not weak. It's sweet but tastes like a whiskey ale... It's quite good. I like that this one ended my 4th of July weekend. This is my new 4th of July beer. I'd give it a solid 8 out of 10... And highly recommend it to beer drinkers...

Happy Birthday America Part 1

July 4th Weekend
Thomas Jefferson Tavern Ale



Yards Brewing Co.
Philadelphia PA
8% abv



Look golden Amber with a cream colored head


Smell-hoppy... Kind of earthy hops

Taste- extremely bitter.

Feel- quite carbonated with an almost immediate burp affect 

Opinion- I am not particularly fond of the Jefferson Ale. Though I do like bitters this one is just too bitter for my liking. For that reason and because it's July 4th weekend I'll give it a 4 out of 10.... Happy birthday America...
