Brew Pub International

This week the Culinary-Passport visited a local brewery / restaurant, Legal Remedy Brewing.  I’d had a couple of their brews before at the Friday Food Truck events downtown in Rock Hill and it was recommended by a random guy I struck up a conversation with at the Korean food truck.

The place is in an old auto dealership building and they use the space well.  Lots of seating both inside and out as you can see in the following photos.

Since I was at a brewery and they had such a good selection of brews I opted for a flight of 4.  My selection were: Deposition Dulce de Leche Porter, Sequestered Blueberry Saison, Sequestered Saison & Scintilla Sweet Tea Ale.

I’ll start with my least favorite and that was the tea ale.  It had a vaguely tannic taste added to an ale and just was not my deal.  The Sequestered Saison is a Belgian Saison with a citrusy taste and a hint of spice.  The Blueberry Saison is also Belgian style with a distinctly blueberry taste that was quite refreshing.  My favorite was the Dulce de Leche Porter.  It had all the body of a porter with the addition of a creamy caramel flavor.

As for the food I went with the recommendation of the Korean food truck patron who was effusive in his praise for the schnitzel.  The menu calls it the Pork Schnitzel Holstein and wow that thing was the size of a cow.

Along with a schnitzel that was pounded to fork cutting tenderness there was a very thin slice of country ham and a fried egg on top with a mustardy brown sauce and pickled onions topping the lot.  The green beans I believe were roasted and were crisp but fully cooked with some light seasoning.  What you can’t see is underneath the huge schnitzel is a pile of skin on mashed red potatoes.  I know the country ham and egg seem a bit odd but they actually went well with the whole dish.  The only thing I would have liked is a little more of the sauce.  This was such a ton of food and drink I didn’t get to try a couple of menu items I had my eye on.  I guess I’ll have to try the Recess Break Root Beer (non-alcoholic) and the fried Moon Pie another time.

Aside from requiring a post lunch multi-mile walk to reduce the impact of such a big lunch I have to give this place a big thumbs up both on the beer and food.
