Restaurant Review: Blue Ridge Brewery

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

I've used Kurliblondie as my Instant Messenger ID (should give you an estimate of my age), used for passwords, user names, and I get a lot of comments on it. Mainly because I have stick straight blonde hair it is not curly at all. However, I wanted to explain myself. Several years ago my family and I visited a place called Blue Ridge Brewery and this is where I discovered Kurliblonde Ale.

We are currently serving:

    This German style light body brew features a light body in a spectacular Golden Color hue. Crafted with German Noble Hops, our Kurli Blonde Ale has become a favorite with many guests who order lighter fare for lunch or dinner.

     Colonel Paris Pale Ale is our take on an Englsh Style medium bodied offering. We use strong hop bitters combined with low malt to bring you a brew with 'sweet character'. To round out the smooth process we combine a secret blend of English and American Hops.                        

         Rainbow Trout ESB is a traditional medium bodied pour that includes just a hint of a chocolate thing hidden in there...you find it! Our ESB utilizes English Hops for a sweeter more malty character than a Pale....thus it's dark amber hue.

         Our medium bodied Total Eclipse Stout is a bit fuller than the ESB with a roasted coffee flavor in the back. Johannes accomplishes this by utilizing an exclusive medium high malt combined with a low English and American hops aroma. This variation comes in with an approximate 6.7% ABU.

 Even though I just gravitated towards the Kurliblonde name - I just love the spelling of Kurli with a 'K' an 'i' - my poor children... I also find this to be my favorite beer at Blue Ridge.

Among the excellent beer choices -their food is delicious. An upper scale bar menu they have everything from fire-grilled pizza and BBQ sandwich to shrimp and grits, catfish etouffe to steaks and pasta. But not only that they have few wild game options. Hunter'

s pie comes with buffalo, duck, and rabbit while you can get a tasting with the wild game sampler option to pick from include: Vension, Antelop, Quail, Rabbit, Buffalo, Wild Boar or Duck Breast

And my favorite buffalo burger! Yummmmmmmmmm. Recommended to have at medium rare this burger is juicy, flavorful, and LEAD! Perfect with their crispy delicious homemade fries, homemade ketchup, and homemade mustard this will always be one of my Greenville favorite burger and beers spots -- all made in house!
