Buck Hill Brewery - Blairstown, NJ

Date of dining experience: January 14, 2018

Place: Buck Hill Brewery & Restaurant

Location: 45 NJ-94 in Blairstown, NJ

Entree: Buck Hill Chicken Schnitzel ($22) - Pan-fried, breaded chicken breast, mashed potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and citrus caper chicken sauce. I love a good schnitzel and this one was fantastic. The Brussels sprouts were perfect and the caper sauce was amazing as well.

Beer Flight Samples:

1. Sweet Rack (Belgian Wit) - 4.6 ABV and 17 IBU - Light and effervescent with hints of coriander and sweet orange; light, fluffy body. 
2. Bud's Suds - 4.2 ABV and 20 IBU - Pre-Prohibition lager brewed with malted barley, flaked corn, and the oldest U.S.-cultivated hop variety, "cluster."
3. Rockin Red Rye - 5.5 ABV and 31 IBU - Malty red ale infused with Bulleit Rye Whiskey.
4. Hitchin' Post - 7.1 ABV and 62 IBU - West coast-style with an abundance of citrusy hop character, wet-hopped with hand-picked Jersey chinook.
5. Big Hefe - 4.7 ABV and 5.4 IBU - Traditional German wheat beer with notes of clove and bubblegum; cloudy and effervescent with a big billowing head.
6. Oktoberfest - 6.0 ABV and 20 IBU - An elegant, malty German amber lager with a clean, rich, toasty, and bready malt flavor, restrained bitterness, and a dry finish that encourages another drink.
7. Cliff's Red Ale - 5.3 ABV and 31 IBU - Malt showcase of caramel and toffee with a mild, soft English hop aroma.

Overall, this was a very good experience. The beer was decent and the food was great. I could see myself eating here again if I ever find myself getting hungry while passing through New Jersey again. Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think! Enjoy!
