Steve and Clark's Brew Pub and Sausage Co. #2

(Brewpub - Closed)

Last updated: November 8, 1998

115 North Duke Street
Durham NC 27701

Opened November 15, 1996.
Brewer: Clark Nelson, Paul Buckner, Brat Kramlik.
1,300 bbl annual capacity.

It's billed as the "World's Largest Indoor Insane Asylum", and they'll get no argument from me. It's a fun place, decorated by card-carrying FREAKS. Skeletons, flying gargoyles, monsters, etc abound. The bar area unfortunately reeks of cigars, but with Liggett Tobacco right across the street, it kinda figures.

Also on tap: Miller Lite, Blue Moon Belgian, John Courage.

Steve and Clark's apparently underwent a change of ownership in 1998...it's now known as Tobacco Roadhouse.

My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
14.5 points overall

• Apricot
  Style 21 - Fruit / Vegetable Beer
  • 14.5 points - Beer #28-2282, at the brewery, September 21, 1997
    Amber, high carbonation, moderate head. Smells like apricot juice. Blast of tangy apricot flavor, with malt in the finish.

• Bull Town Brown

  • 14 points - Beer #28-2278, at the brewery, September 21, 1997
    Brown, thick head. Smells a little smoky, maybe. Lots of green hop flavor. Sweet behind that. Very very drying.

• Classic Pale Ale
  Style 6 - American-style Pale Ale
  • 13.5 points - Beer #28-2284, at the brewery, September 21, 1997
    Dark amber, almost opaque. Malty aroma. Big bitter hoppy flavor, some of which is US Tettnang.

  Style 19 - German-style Wheat Beer
  • 13 points - Beer #28-2281, at the brewery, September 21, 1997
    Brown-amber opaque, high carbonation, OK head. Smells of smoke and cloves. Very very sweet, sorta smoky, some banana ester late.
