Imagine stepping into a realm where the mad scientists have swapped their lab coats for aprons and the beakers bubble not with chemicals, but with the finest brews known to mankind. This is the scene at "Science Project," a brewery nestled in the heart of Logansport, Indiana, that has boldly gone where no brewery has gone before.
Upon entering, you're greeted not by a host, but by a robotic arm that may or may not have been borrowed from a high school science lab. It's unclear if it's there to take your coat or your order, but it's charming in a "could-go-rogue-at-any-moment" kind of way.
The décor is a blend of science fair gone rogue and a hipster's basement. Edison bulbs hang precariously from repurposed Bunsen burner stands, illuminating walls plastered with the periodic table of beer elements. It's the only place where discussing the atomic weight of hops doesn't make you the party's buzzkill.
The beer menu reads like a lab report. The "H2O-Yeah!" is a crisp, refreshing lager that reminds you of your first science experiment—simple yet unexpectedly explosive. The "Quantum Foam" is a dark stout with layers of complexity, not unlike the universe; it's both dense and bubbly, leaving physicists and philosophers alike pondering its existence.
Then there's the "E=MC Beer," an IPA that's as unpredictable as its namesake equation. One sip might transport you to a hoppy parallel universe; another sip, and you're suddenly understanding the theory of relativity, or at least believing you do.
The staff are as eclectic as the brews. The head brewer, known only as "The Professor," is rumored to have a PhD in nuclear physics, or perhaps it was fermentation sciences—the details are a bit fuzzy after a couple of pints. The bartenders, meanwhile, serve drinks with the precision of seasoned chemists, carefully measuring each pour as though it might result in a new form of matter.
"Science Project" isn't just a brewery; it's an experience. It's where beer meets imagination, and where your inner nerd can revel in the alchemy of alcohol. By the time you leave, you'll not only have a new favorite beer, but you'll also be convinced that you've contributed to the advancement of science, one...
Read moreI don't even want to do this but I just have to make it known what to expect. I'm from out of state and tried this place because a local told me about it. I got the "bloody Mary bar" which is just a premade mix in a big plastic jug. The sides or garnishes are a bunch of fruit and raw shrimp. I took 2 drinks and waited waaaay too long for service so we decided just to pay and leave seeing how many people were still in front of us that hadn't ordered. This all would've been fine and let go but $14.. I paid $14 for a drink that was quite frankly gross and came with garnishes that were worth $.40 at best and I literally took 2 drinks of it. I was honest with her and told her the service was too slow for us having a hungry 5 year old and questioned the $14 charge. She pointed at the cereal bowls of fruit and went back to her conversation. We stop at places all over the country in our travels and it's rare that you don't get comped when you don't like something. Granted this only the second time ever I've felt like the bill shoulve been cut in half. It may be a great place to eat but today wasn't their day I guess. There was also way too much going on. Bingo, a lady selling plants, and a self serve bloody Mary bar all in the same corner. In front of the self serve water. Just not their day....
Read moreLoved the setting, but the service honestly sucked! Waited awhile for the waitress to take my order for drinks and was told if I wanted water, I’d have to get the “self serve” across the dining area where we was seated. So we got Coke and was brought a can. Not even offered a glass with/out ice.
Waited a while longer just to order food. Ordered quarks, which were good. The young guy that served it to us, I assume a cook? Busboy? Just threw it down on the table n left. If he did say anything I didn’t hear him.
And again had to wait for the waitress to come by just to get a different sauce, by the time she did our quarks we’re cold.
We was leaving and my son dropped the sauce we were taking. He told the waitress and she didn’t say anything to him, just looked at him and didn’t even offer to replace it. (She did hear him)
All n all, I’d go back n give it a second try. Hopefully next time will be better. We did meet the owner, Tim. He’s an Amazing guy with an upbeat personality and very nice. The waitress may have been having a bad day or feeling a bit overwhelmed? I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant and it wasnt overly loud. The prices are...
