Occy’s Brewery

Kyle’s Favourite: Irish Red Ale
Liz’s Favourite: Pale Ale


This was one of our stand out breweries that we wanted to visit, however, the only problem was that we failed brew batch timings. The majority of the beers we wanted to try were not on tap when we visited. Just to get out some frustration, it was table service but the service was TERRIBLE! We ended up by ordering at the bar all the time anyway…

We tried 4 beers and we know you shouldn’t really have preconceived expectations but we were disappointed. The Mexican- pretty much like Corona but with a bit more going on, Irish Red Ale-  just a bit bland, Pale Ale- a non offensive drinkable pale ale being slightly floral and mild bitterness and the Stout- again middle of the road chocolatey stout.

The beers may not be outstanding but the food was a whole other story. Liz had twice-cooked chicken maryland with a buckwheat salad and chipotle dressing. It almost had the crispy skin texture of crispy duck and definitely rectified our previously bummed out feeling of the place.


Kyle tried the chilli burger with the choice of no chilli (0) to ghost chilli hot (10). It was a decent burger with a well-made and juicy patty oozing with lots of cheese on top. That was not all, the Stuffed Jalapeños, please please have them! I am currently running out of things to say of how good they were but the food there is great and well priced.  All we can say we did not regret coming to this place after all.
