Lucky Labrador

We got on the bus again and went across town to check out one of our favorite bars Luck Lab. It's on the other side of the river from our hotel. We met some local couple blitz out of there mind and looking for someplace to continue. We mentioned the Lucky Lab and they ended up going our way. You get the impression that Lucky Lab is not super well known since they had never heard of it and it seemed that they made a point of checking out pubs.

We didn't bother to eat this time because we needed the room for beer. We started out with Scotch Ale but it didn’t much taste like a scotch ale to me since it was very hoppy and dark. I guess its sort of a Scotch ale for hop heads. The Old Yeller Barleywine was pretty good even though I guess I expected a paler concoction. At least it was closer to what I expected for a barley wine at OG 1.096. and finishing in the twenties. Dark color with Carmel taste predominating and some hops.

They also have a great set of brewery T-shirts but I think I bought them all the last year I was there.

The best way to enjoy the place is to hang out on the dock outside in the summertime. The ambiance is akin to an industrial warehouse and the bar is really close. Of course, we where there late at night and it was winter so it really wasn't a good idea to hang out there this time.
