Exquisite Eats and Exceptional Beers: A Night at Molly Rose Brewing

Walking into Molly Rose Brewing is akin to a refreshing plunge into a funky, cool pool of craft beer.

With white walls reflecting the hospitable charm of the staff, the vibe is easy-going and inviting. Six tantalizing craft beers grace the taps, offering a glimpse into the brewing artistry that unfolds behind the scenes.

Beginning with a citrus pale ale, I was struck with the vibrant refreshment of mandarin and grapefruit. This delicious brew primed my palate for the culinary delights to come, courtesy of their unique ‘Chef’s Table’ option.

A labor of love by founder and lead brewer, Nic Sandery, the ethos of this establishment—honesty, hospitality, humility, hard work, and ingenuity—echoes the virtues of his grandmothers, Molly and Rose.

Following a recent expansion in February, the menu was launched in March, merging effortlessly with the brews.

The first course was a delightfully inventive beer cocktail, paired with pork crackling. The cocktail was an audacious symphony of flavors, mimicking a lemon tart explosion that perfectly complemented the rich, salty crackling.

The standout of the meal was unquestionably the smoked rib. Bathed in a vibrant citrus finger lime sauce, it danced on the palate with divine smoky and citrus notes.

This was followed by a farmhouse ale, rich with the luscious flavors of peach and nectarine. Aged in barrels and prepped akin to champagne, this beer pairing with heirloom tomatoes and sashimi was a study in delicious balance.

Further surprises came in the form of seaweed triad accompanied by a creamy pumpkin purée, topped with a fondue and paired with a plum farmhouse ale.

Their creations may give you mad scientist vibes, but believe me, they pull off every experiment with aplomb.

Ending the evening with a tour of the brewery was a fitting tribute to the passion, dedication, and sheer hard work that has brought Molly Rose to life.

If you wish to bask in the presence of true masters of their craft, spend an evening immersed in the artful blend of food and brews at Molly Rose Brewing.

You’ll leave with an invigorated sense of respect for the extraordinary magic that can happen when beer, food, and unyielding passion come together.
