Associated Venue: Bobcat Cafe & Brewery
Established in 2002
In the kitchen, our goal is to create food that is wholesome and interesting to insure locals and visitors return often. We design our menus around the seasons and what is available in and around Addison County while borrowing techniques from a range of world cuisine. We work hard to bring quality and consistency to the table, offering food that is informal enough for a quick meal with neighbors but worthy of an important celebration.
The Bobcat Cafe and Brewery opened in 2002 as a community supported business designed to be a “third place” (a social retreat or meeting space away from home and work). Today we continue to support the community by hosting Wednesday night benefit dinners and by providing a comfortable and fun spot where neighbors and friends can meet up and enjoy a beer and a meal together.
Come check us out and enjoy!

Yeah, I know it wasn’t served in a weizen glass, usually, I’m anal. Eh, but I’m getting appropriate characteristics. Here’s the rest in a pint glass.
The appearance was a cloudy yellow color. Head dissipated immediately. No lace.
The smell had all of the normal characteristics of a hefeweizen ’ s aromatics - good amount of spicy clove hitting banana esters sweetly. Normal weizen /yeastiness slides in for the balance.
The taste was sweet and \"hefeweizen\" spicy with the appropriate quick sweet to spicy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the spice to hit but not too harsh.
Overall, hey, despite being in a pint glass, this is a pretty good hefeweizen.

Tap. Pours clear black, medium creamy tan head, great lacing. Aroma is super light, roasty with a hint of smoke. Flavor is dry, light bitter, faint smoke and roasty malt. Medium light body, creamy. Not a lot going on here, but pleasant enough.

Oaked orange appearance. Sticky head. Aroma of not much. Hard to detect much. So bitter. And dank. Just chewy without a lot of malt. Touch of sweetness at the finish.
