text: The night before we went here I had a Penn Dark at a bar It was very good but I rarely drink dark beernnThat being said I was very excited to go to the brewery and have some good German food and beer We were seated very quickly and the waitress was nice but said a guy who was busy would be our waiterseems that did not happen as she came right back to take our ordernnWe order a brezel Pretzel with beer cheese and I got a schnitzel sandwich and a Penn lager The food came before the appetizerguess she was busy too The brezel and schnitzel sandwich were fantastic The food here is top notch and in my opinion saves this place My lager however was awful So bitter I barely got through itnnI decided to get the Octoberfest beer a shot as I tried my girlfriends Penn Gold and thought OK not great The Octoberfest was better but still awfully bitter and just not very tastynnId go back for the food but Hofbrau definitely has them on the beer
