I've been to the Church Brew Works many times. It seems the past few times I have been there, the quality of service has gone way down. For example, tonight I went there for dinner and when the girl brought us out our beer, she asked who got the Pious Monk Dunkel. No one had, but I had ordered the Double IPA, which I stated. She seemed confused for a moment and finally said, "Ok, this is the IPA." I feel like no matter what I had said I had ordered, she would have just said that was it. You ordered a Pepsi? Well Ok, here it is. I deducted that it was indeed the IPA, but this isn't the first time they have screwed up drink orders there.
My other complaint is that the food is just WAY too overpriced. They had a special menu for their 9th anniversary, and the only vegetarian item on the menu was vegetable eggrolls for $7.95. I thought that sounded like a good appetizer, so we ordered 1 to split. Much to my dismay, it ended up being only ONE eggroll. Don't get me wrong - it was good - but not eight dollars good. Their entrees in general average in at about $15 a plate, and quite frankly, they are pretty mediocre. The pizza is good, but I can get pizza anywhere. When I go to a church that sells beer, I want something special.
I'd say that I'm not super excited to go back to the Church Brew Works anymore if things keep going the way they are (unless they add soft pretzels as a permanent addition to their menu). Everyone should definitely go at least once for the experience. You don't even have to go there anymore to get the beer, though, because they are selling it in cases now at local beer distributors.

I agree with Julie. I was going to write my ownpost but after a rough draft it didn't add anything to what Julie has already said. I used to love the Church Brew Works. It was a treat to go there. Julie and I once walked from Center and Aiken to the Church Brew Works because we wanted to go there. I don't remember why we couldn't catch a bus. I guess because we didn't know of one from there.
