Wasser Brewing - Greencastle

So, my review comes with a caveat. We were trying to get in a bite to eat and a drink before going to a basketball game at DePauw, and we got lucky. Apparently Wasser has been closed since August. They are doing small pop-ups at different times during the week. (I think Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings). We showed up at 11:30am on a Saturday and they were only open 9-12 that morning. There was one choice on the menu and actually I really liked that! French toast, bacon, hashbrowns, and fruit with unlimited coffee for $12. What a deal! All the food was delicious! They only had the brown ale on draft from Wasser and they had some beers from St. Louis and Fountain Square on draft as well. They had all the brunch drinks, and they are a whiskey bar, so the cocktail menu looked great. We tried the fall cocktail, the **** mary, and a mimosa. I really liked the fall cocktail. It was not what I expected, but still delicious. As for opening back up full time, we were told that March 1 they are hoping for a grand reopening.

The fish (in the fish and chips) was very good, and the buttermilk chicken was good. Fries were good but cold. Unfortunately our drinks (old fashion and Kentucky lemonade) lacked any sort of evidence of alcohol. I sent the old fashion back, but it stayed on the bill. I asked them to remove it, and it stayed on the bill. The poor wait staff were stretched exceptionally thin while the manager stared longingly to some far off place that I could not see. Really disappointing

Wow, so disappointed. This could be such a cool place. To start, cocktails were just flavored water. Literally nothing in them.Sent them back, and they never took it off the check, even after us asking. Felt sorry for the young server. She wasn't busy when we got there, but soon after had 2 parties of 6+. The manager (owner? was standing with his hands in his pockets staring off in space...did absolutely nothing the whole time we were there. . We waited for our check and table to be cleared for over 45 minutes. Soggy, tasteless fries. Shrimp tacos were cold and just fell apart when attempting to eat. Again, very disappointing.

We always support local small business however, the sandwiches we had tonight were pretty bad. We also shared a loaded fries which was extremely bad and cold. The manager should dig in here. We will never come back. The beer was ok.

Have always loved this place, however, I think the Covid situation has taken it's toll. The menu has been scaled down and it seems that they have changed some of the ingredients in their offerings. Maybe in an effort to cut costs.........? Both of my favorite sandwiches are no longer on the menu. The salad served with the sandwiches was definitely not the same lettuce mix and the dressing tasted like coffee. The bottom bun on my sandwich was so thin, it was virtually nonexistent. Will we go back, probably will give it one more try. We like to support local small business and hate to see anyone fail during these trying times.
