Really I thought the next one due was the first batch of Illuminator Double Bock brewed onsite at 50th.

yeah i'm pretty sure that the double wit is next (it's already tapped, just not being sold as it's not quite aged yet) followed by the illuminator.

then the latest batch of the satellite stout, which I was kind of dismayed to hear doesn't have as much coffee flavor as the original

The Curacao Double was put on tap today. I liked it, but I was mostly drinking the Maple Porter, so the curacao seemed very light in comparison. I'll have to try it again by itself without being pre-biased by the porter.

I liked the Curacau Double a lot but it does seem like a summer time beer. Similar to a Belgian with strong citrus overtones. the Cuacau is I guess a type of organe that is involved in the brewing in some way.

Its really, really good but might be even better on a muggy summer day.

I had some last night and it was great! While it does seem like a summer beer, it's also a great reminder of summer. We need something like that every so often to get through the middle of winter.

I might suggest brewing it again in the summer.

Maple porter is good too.

I had the Maple Porter two days ago and it was good. They did not have it listed on the menu though. I wonder why? Is it supposed to be a local secret, or a special that the waiter/waitress is supposed to say?

Default Am I the only one? :[

I went to Dock Street last weekend and while I really enjoyed my cranberry beer, I was not impressed at all by their food or their wait staff.

Although, I'd definitely give it another shot. People have bad nights\busy nights.

Default dock street service

I enjoyed the cranberry kolsch. The last stout was very nice too. I was pretty dissapointed in the maple porter.

The service at Dock Street is consistently terrible. I have had only a few good experiences and the kitchen is the worst.


I keep going back though. I will probably get frustrated enough with the service at some point to find somewhere else to go...

Consider take out instead? For food, did you have the pizza, or something else?
