Review of Red Car Brewery

I can't say I love the beer here. Maybe I just don...

I can't say I love the beer here. Maybe I just don't like the English?
The beer here are made with English barley, English Yeast, English wheat.
Thought I would try a sampler of their beers here.
The color looks like the beer is unfiltered and oddly enough, all the beers seem to taste the same. The South Bay IPA doesn't quite taste like an IPA, doesn't quite have the usual bitterness. The South Loop porter wasn't bad but it didn't have the sweet taste associated with the porter. Red Car will also have something special not on the regular menu. I couldn't remember what I got but again, it tasted like one of the regular brews.

I like the large area parking lot and the design and layout of the restaurant. It has that nice cozy bar feel. Overall, I think it's a nice place for you and your friends to hang out, eat a few things, but maybe after drinking beers from other local breweries in the southbay.
