I liked this episode focused on a single brewpub. Though it probably is not one I will get to, I agree with when I have been to other brewpubs, many of the beers they make have a middle of the road flavor like the beers you drank on this episode. The brews are not mediocre, they are usually very well made, but do tend to avoid the extremes with a few notable exceptions like Karl Strauss in San Diego which makes not just good but great beer and Day Block or Town Hall in Minneapolis both of which have excellent brews -- Day Block even has a fabulous Bacon Flight to go along with the Beer Flight you order!
