Lynnwood Grill & Brewing Concern

The Lynnwood Grill & Brewing flies low on the radar as far as NC Breweries go but their beer flys high. The five I tried were for the most part exceptional sans one disappointment. The service was good and the waitress (Jessica) seemed to be knowledgeable. The food was good as well. In my normal fashion I first ordered a flight. The Lynnwood Light is a beer to move BMC drinkers to craft beer and its light, crisp and refreshing to drink and should convert all who try it. The Czech Yourself Pilsner was a total let down for me as there was very little aroma and the finish was harsh. I'm a Pilsner fan but this one rates low on my scale. The Bad Leroy Brown would impress any Britt to the point of feeling at home. My favorite (a GABF Silver Medal winner) was the Once You Go Black IPA. Full aroma not hop forward but a nice medium body with a strong but pleasant hop finish that doesn't linger to long. I decided to order a pint of this one and was disappointed to see the glass wasn't filled to the proper level. At $4.75 a pint one would expect a full pint. (See picture at the bottom of this post.) The Kick My Irish Stout is served on Nitrogen and one can understand why this one was voted one of the top 10 US brewed stouts after winning a Silver medal at the U.S. Beer Open Chamoionship. Overall I recommend a visit as this brewery fits what NC Beer is all about.  http://www.lynnwoodgrill.com
