It is the first intersection south of the I-76/Rte 11 interchange. I've stopped there 3 or 4 times. Their brews vary seasonally. Their 'wurst are decent, but that is, of course, modulo the best 'wurst in the world at West Side Market! They have a good honey mustard too. It's a comfortable place, probably a converted HoJo's or Lums. From Cleveland east side, it's about 1:30 or so driving. Another place, not a brew pub, but with a wide selection of brews and notorious BBQ wings is Quaker Steak and Lube in Sharon, PA. About 1:45 from the east side, via I-76 and I-80. I've not been there, but the pgh.food newsgroup has discussed it in length. There is a waver to be signed for their hottest wings. One of my ex-staffers, now at SiliconGraphics, invested in the "famous" Palo Alto brew pub (sorry name escapes me but it is someone's name like Christian Morlein or such) that is now spreading out thru the Bay Area (San Jose, San Fran). The food there was VERY good and the brews excellent. Another one that I rank superb is the Walnut Creek (?) one in Boulder, CO. Great food in large portions and excellent variety of brews.
