Yummy lunch!

The hubby, the kidlet, and I just returned from lunch at the newly-opened Black River Brewing Company. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We were initially overwhelmed by the plethora of innovative menu choices, and that's a good thing. The owner, Mike Niezabytoski, hails from Lowville. He tells us that he endeavored to put as many North Country food specialties on the menu as possible. The Croghan Bologna Sandwich caught my eye, but ultimately I chose the beer-battered haddock and chips. It was very tasty, without being heavy or greasy. Hubby enjoyed his Pretzel-coated chicken, and raved about the spaetzle which accompanied it. The cranberry coleslaw was delightfully different.

Ironically, the hubby didn't order a beer. The in-house specialties had not completed the brewing process, so ever the beer snob purist, he ordered a glass of Australian Shiraz instead.

The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The Black River Brewing Company has earned Miniature Rose's seal of approval.
