This is a tough one. Love the idea that you can find craft beer almost anywhere but...you really don't want to find it here.

Building is old and interesting and it looks like it could be a great bar but there is just a...smell...like mold or mildew or something that covers the place. Felt like wet carpet in there. I had to convince my wife not to turn around and find somewhere else to go.

We got there at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon and had to search for a waitress who was not too pleased that we decided to come by. Place was dead except for a couple of old guys at the bar.

Got the brown porter which was fine - a little sweet and with absolutely no roast - more like a southern brown, but dark.

Ordered the Red but she brought me what I think is their pilsner. That was undrinkable. Cidery and so much DMS that you could smell it from a foot away.

Food wasn't pub food, or restaurant food - it was low-end bar food - reheated hamburger and a fish sandwich that came straight from the freezer.

Not worth the trip, not worth walking in.

This brewpub is located in downtown Portsmouth, basically right along the Ohio River in a small town. They have on street parking as well as a lot across the street from the brewpub. The building is really old and interesting to see inside. Inside there is numerous references to 1843, apparently the date to which this pub originates. Also have a lot of interesting beer memorabilia inside.

Outside of the building not a ton of good to say about the place. They have a sampler which comes in extremely small tastes. They were out of basically everything they offered, including all dark beer. They had a decent pale ale and red ale. Otherwise, the lager, pilsner and ginger shandy were very average.

Not a place I'd take the long trip to drive to withot a reason, but at least there is a place in southern Ohio if you are in the area. They also offer food, but overall it appears to basically be a very basic pub menu.
