I'm finally doing it, after coming here ~20 times I'm finally leaving my review. And it's not a good one.

Each visit I try a different beer, many times a "scratch" beer, and each time I am somewhat disappointed with it. My beer pallet is very broad and I enjoy pretty much every type of brew. Though this is true, I have never had a beer at Troegs that wow'd me. Many of them have disappointed me. I hesitate to use the word "overrated" to describe anything, but I think with all of the tourism, fanfare, bourgie food, and the high prices, I am accurately describing Troegs by calling it overrated. The year round beer on tap seems to cost the same, if not a dollar more, than I could get it for at a local bar.

I have posted a picture of their carrot hummus dish as an example. For $12 you get unpeeled carrots (does this make people think they are fresher or something?), zucchini, large chunks of tomatoes, and bread. The hummus comes in an iron skillet. Everything about this overpriced and subpar tasting dish screams "we're trying wayyyy too hard to look cool".

And that sums up my 2 years of coming to Troegs... They have continuously attempted to "look" cooler and more trendy while driving up their prices. Unfortunately they have also seemed to stray from what made them popular in the beginning.
