The Retired Guys unearthed another Lancaster County gem in Denver today. Brancyn's Restaurant and Bar, formerly The Black Horse Restaurant and Tavern, was well worth the drive north on Route 222.
There are only 6 beers on tap, but all are local brewery creations that covered a respectable range of styles. And if the drafts don't grab you, the great selection of bottles probably will. Along with the beer on our afternoons we have come to look forward to our food sampling. Today we chose a sampler appetizer that included some wings, tenders, shrimp and mozzarella bites. Not gourmet, but it was fried and fried is usually good. This was no exception.
As we walk down this road of beer happiness we have come to appreciate how the bartender sets the mood and atmosphere of each establishment. Today Dave greeted us warmly and immediately upon entering. As others entered he was the same welcoming face we saw and very accommodating to those dining as well.
Overall, it was another enjoyable afternoon at a watering hole we may never have traveled to without our beer quest. It is also necessary to mention that Brancyn's got it's name as a tribute to two young ladies who passed away too soon. We find it easy to root for success for an operation with a heart like that.
Until next time, CHEERS!
SPECIAL NOTE
