Pollyanna Brewing Company Roselare

Cool taproom with a good selection of beers. Great patio.

Pollyanna is my favorite microbrewery. All of their beers, of which they have quite a variety of styles, are superb. Recently they had a festival over the weekend and we had the best time. Great bands, great beers and a good selection of food trucks kept us entertained and well-fed throughout the afternoon into the evening. They had shut down the street in front of their location to hold the festival and yet we still took some time to spend in their stylish beer garden in back. Pollyanna had multiple serving locations outside to compliment their main serving area inside of their pour house. This allowed them to quickly serve the huge crowd with very little wait time to get a beverage. They don't serve food but have plenty of local eateries that will deliver food to you while you are there. The servers are always fun, nice, and quick. Our favorite beers are Lexical Gap, a terrific west coast IPA, Eleanor, a nutty well-balanced porter, Roselle Red, a very smooth Vienna lager. I also tried and very much enjoyed their raspberry wheat ale called Summerly. If you are looking for great quality beer in a chill environment, please give them a try.

I have been a fan of pollyanna for some time and really enjoy coming to this location. Here they have a large indoor area to sit around with friends and enjoy your favorite pollyanna craft beer or spirit. They also carry some wine from a local winery (Lynford). they remodeled the outside a year or two ago to have large garage doors open to the large outdoor patio. The patio has a lot of picinic benches, tables, and fire tables. Really nice ambiance. I would consider this place to be pet and kid friendly. Often times on weekends they have food trucks right outside along with live acoustic entertainment. Great place for a date night or to simply enjoy a beer on a beautiful sunny day!

The beer here was super tasty. There are 2 reasons I am giving it only 4 stars. 1 is because they were out of the Pollyanna Pilsner. 2 is because I didn't get the beer that I asked for, and when I asked my server, first he said he would take care of it, then he forgot, and then finally about 20 minutes later, I got my beer. It was a Saturday night, there was a super yummy barbecue food truck in front (Holy Smokes, I think), they were lightly staffed (probably not by choice), and the place was packed. I get it, but I don't want to wait 20 minutes for a beer. I would go back though, just not on a Saturday night. Good beer, and the food truck was fabulous.

Overall this is a great hang out BUT they have a bartender Justin who is not focused on customer experience. We came with the family since they had a few food trucks, we thought the kids would have a decent time, but this guy is not fond of family’s in this establishment. We are repeat customers, but are rethinking our loyalties after our experience today. I’m still giving a decent overall review, but do not recommend bringing families here.
