Harbottle Brewing Company — Restaurant in Arizona

They do a pretty nice job of enforcement of covid procedures and have a cute penalty bucket for those who violate the rules (similar to a...

If you saw the movie "Sideways", you know the characters Miles and Jack. Miles had the sophisticated pallette. Jack's standard response was, "It tastes good to me." I'm Jack.

I had the Saison. Tasted good to me. But my friend, the Miles character, said he tasted esters in the aftertaste. If I knew what esters tasted like I might have agreed.

We ended up with 4 total, the Saison, the Belgium pale ale, the kolsch and the English bitter. He had no complaints with the other 3. Tasted good to me.

The location is convenient but not funky or cool. The staff...
