That up thar is the Holy Land
No.
Well, self-serve beer gets close.
Once inside you can choose between a regular bar on your right or a large seating area on your left; but it’s really a choice between being served or serving yourself, because most of the tables and booths have their own self-pour taps.
Does it know when to cut you off?
We opted for a seat at the classic bar, and are glad we did. Leatherhead is big, open, and airy, and our bartender and the other waitstaff filled it with jovial voices and friendly banter. Our bartender in even showed us his personal trick: pouring us all 6 tasters in one movement.
Add it to the Olympics.
Pritty Pritty Witty Witbier
Banana-forward, with a clean, crisp finish.
Charlie Mopps English Ale
Old-timey, musky; like drinking a British pub ale.
Mash Gordon APA
A woody character with distinct hop notes.
Booster Seat Belgian Pale Ale
Hoppy to be sure, but fruity enough to be at home with the Belgians.
Tripel Aught American Amber
Deceiving name: a solid, classic amber.
Full Beard Stout
“Stouty”. Caramel with a bite.
Talking with other patrons and workers, Leatherhead has a young, fun feel to it. Between the dining area and the shiny, exposed brew kettles in the middle of the building, it’s clear they’ve invested a lot in the space.
With the unbeatable location and house-brewed beers, there’s no doubt that Leatherhead Brewing company is on it’s way to becoming a go-to Packer fan destination.
