Caitlin K Review of Olde Main Brewing Company

Went in to the bar side just after noon on a Saturday. Apparently some event was happening as there were some balloons and people standing around. After making sure the place wasn t reserved just for them (which it seemed like as they had left their food everywhere and were milling about/standing in front of 95% of any seating areas), my friend and I seated ourselves at a tall table, unsure as to if we needed to go up front to order or what. After about ten minutes and no help (they may have thought we were part of the group of ~20?), we saw a few chairs open up at the bar and made a dash to get those positions in hopes that we could then be served. Finally got to see a menu and I was disappointed that they only had two beers of their own on tap. All the others were from various other breweries. If I wanted those beers I could have gone anywhere else or picked up bottles at a store. I am not sure if they just didn t have any of their own made or if they have quit making all their own brews(?). My favorite used to be their double IPA, and I thought having their own beers made it special. This time it was like any other joint. I settled for a newer beer they make (I think), which was good and then later had a gryph, which tasted differently from what I remember. As for food, it was okay. Had sliders which were quite large so more bang for your buck. The chips and dip came with about 3 cups worth of salsa. There was so much salsa, quite a bit ended up being wasted. The food in their FB pics looks good so I ll have to come back and try other options. I have had their buffalo wings before which I liked. The Bartender made sure to address us by our names which was a nice touch, but service was otherwise a bit slow. The place started with 3 workers and by the time we were trying to pay our bill it was only one dude scrambling to help everyone with their drinks and food, and trying his best.
Will have to go again and see if it was just a one- time weird experience.
