Barley's & Hop's Reviewed

Barley's & Hop's Bottle Shop and Restaurant is a new establishment at the South Park Shops in Bethel Park, PA. One step inside and you will feel as though you have died and gone to beer lover's heaven. The walls are lined with exotic imported beers from every nation imaginable and, of course, the local domestic classics like Iron City. On one side are the bottles intended to be taken home with you, on the other are the chilled bottles which can be consumed on the premises. There are also several varieties of beer on tap. If you are bringing the kiddies along or if you are a tea-toataler, there is also a nice selection of root beer.

This was my beer selection...



A Belgian lambic raspberry flavored beer, priced at $8.95 per bottle and worth every penny!

Now seated at a cozy table that appears to be made from an old keg with my chilled beer poured into an appropriate glass I am free to choose from a menu full of all sorts of delectable appetizers, sandwiches and wraps.

These were my choices...

For an appetizer I chose the meat & cheese platter a mix of our European cheeses and German cold cut meats. This also included some of the tastiest pitted black olives that have ever passed my lips.

My entré was knackwurst made with very lean beef and pork and natural spices with a full body flavor served with sauerkraut on a sandwich roll with German potato salad.
Mmmmm... Tasty!
Please refrain from making comments about me eating German sausages!

I will definitely be returning to this establishment frequently. The food was out of this world, and I'm looking forward to sampling beers from around the world without having to leave my home state of Pennsylvania.
