Scooter’s 1716th bar, first visited in 2023.

This made sense as out next stop due to being just a few doors over from the previous stop. (Or at least it looked that way, the actual entrance turned out to be around the corner and then another half block.)

The building is a former firehouse, converted to a massive brewery/restaurant. Apart from the large rectangular central bar there are massive seating levels on two levels, plus outdoor seating both on the sidewalk and on a rooftop deck.

My flight consisted of the Steel Cut Stout, the Dundee Export 90 Scotch Ale, Pursuit of Juiciness (NEIPA), and the Capitol (with Simcoe Cask Conditioned) — a pale ale that was a last-moment substitution after the keg blew of whatever I originally wanted in that spot was.

Unfortunately that last second substitution ended up being one of the worst craft beers I’ve ever had. Definitely among bottom ten out of the over 2,700 distinct craft beers I’d had up until then. So unfortunately that’s the memory I was left with. I should have STARTED with that one because any of the other three beers would have ended this visit on a good note!
