Description
Since 2003, Queen City Brewing has been having fun making beer, talking about beer, and yes - most importantly - drinking beer!

As you might expect, If you brew over 15 years, you accumulate a lot of recipes! At our bar you can taste 30+ beers on tap while doing all sorts of fun things! listening to live music at Picks n’ Pints​ on Friday nights or at our weekly Open Mic Night, join a trivia game on thursday, catch a game on our big screen, or just hang out.

​True to tradition, you can still become the brewer - thru our awesome 6-3-1 Brewer's Apprentice program! Make some, drink some, and and take some home! We invite you to stop by, drink a few, and sample all QCB offers! - Cheers!, Daddy Rabbit

​PS - If you want to learn more about the Daddy Rabbit, youll just have to come pay us a visit.

Sampled at the brewery on 5/21/11. Pours a slighty hazy amber with no head. Aroma of pure butterscotch candy. The taste is the same. Some toasted malts faint hops in the finish but generally just sickly sweet butterscotch. This is an abomination and I was personally offended they served this to me.

Sampled at the brewery on 5/21/11. Pours a clear pale orange color with a medium creamy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of pale biscuity malts and cheap fake raspberry flavoring. The taste matches exactly. Thin bodied. Like a bad raspberry soda.

Sampled at the brewery on 5/21/11. Pours a dark brown color with a thin creamy head. Aroma of chocolate and bananas. The taste is chocolate, banana, milky and nutty notes. Medium bodied. Not terrible but a little artifical and no real Belgian character.

12 ounce bottle from the brewery. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Strange for a beer that claims to be unfiltered. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is candied banana and orange with faint spicy notes. Really artificial. Taste is bread, coconut, faint hops. Thin bodied and watery. Pretty bad even for these guys.

22 ounce unlabeled bottle. I think this is a handbottle off of the taps. Shared by Velkyal. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazed amber color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Grainy, fruity aroma with apples, peach, pear and a slight vegetal note. Taste is very bitter and acrid. Leafy hops and light fruit notes, but generally just very bitter, medicinal and almost like paint thinner. Just not a good beer. Thin bodied.
