Altered Genius Brewing

Nice, good sized, brewery. First time there as I'm from out of town with some time to kill. The bartender was very friendly and courteously offered me some samples. I had the Autumn Leaves brown. Bold with good flavor. There was a lot of seating, bar, tall tables, couches and comfy chairs. They even had a shelf full of games. I recommend to anyone in the area.

I chose to try the brewery on a Friday evening for dinner with some friends around 530pm. We were easily able to get a table, but they had a decent crowd on hand and at the bar. Our server was polite, attentive, and more than willing to help me decide on my food choice. I ended up ordering a beer flight for $12 and the chicken, bacon, ranch flatbread for $18. I thought the flight was nice and fairly priced. I enjoyed most of the beers I chose and was a little surprised because half were out of my comfort zone. The flatbread was delicious, but I felt like (as with the rest of the food menu) the price was a little high. The smoked chicken was cooked perfectly, as was the flatbread itself, and the tomatoes and lettuce toppings were fresh. The bathroom was small, but clean, and had paper towels and soap. The parking was on the street out front of the business and wasn't too difficult to find available spots.

no wines. Seltzers available. They put in whatever flavor you'd like in the seltzer. Located on a Main Street. Lots of parking. Full menu with on site kitchen. Nachos were pretty good. Service was attentive. Local home town bar type of ambiance.

I might be biased because my fiancé and I started going here before we started dating, but this is one of our favorite places! The beer is great! Especially Dahl, Hannibal Nectar, or Crannibal Nectar. The food is also really good and the menu changes every season.

What to do on a cold, snow on the ground day in March - go check out some breweries you haven't been to. We picked 3 close together & were pleased with them all. This was stop 3. 3 of us shared a flight had some yummy hot dogs & listened to some live music. Will definitely be back when weather is nice and sit on their patio.

I stopped by here a couple of Thursdays ago with my wife for lunch and some drinks. This was actually my second time at Altered Genius Brewing Co. and my wife's first. It's located right on Market Street in downtown Ambridge. The inside of this place consists of a bar and then plenty of seating. They also have a small cubby where they sell merchandise as well as some 6 packs. Beyond that they also have an outdoor seating area which is where I have sat both times. It's completely covered and in the winter time they can drop some plastic to keep the heat in and then turn on the massive outdoor heater that they have.As I often do when visiting a brewery I went with a flight here on this day. A flight here consists of 4 beers and I went with the mother of dragYinz, the black cherry sour, Amelia and lady red hair. First up was the Mother of dragYinz Tropical which was a weird creamsicle color. It started off smooth before a bit of tartness from the curuba. Up second was the The Black cherry sour which was a little hoppy up front before finishing with a lingering flavor of black cherry. Honestly I didn't get the sour, but I did have it after the mother which was definitely sour. Third was the Amelia which had a smooth start moving into some light citrus and then hops at the finish. For an 8.9% alcohol beer, the hops are surprisingly light which I appreciated. I ended up having food midway into this beer and after that, man could I taste the alcohol. Last but certainly not least was the Lady Red Hair. It has a little bit of tartness at the start before a hint of the hops and then some caramel notes on the finish.For lunch on this day my wife and I decided to split two entrees and we went with the Crispy pork belly tacos and also the buffalo chicken Mac. The menu described the tacos as salsa verde, avocado, lime cream and queso fresco and the Buffalo chicken Mac as spicy chicken, cheddar, ranch and crispy topping. I first went with the tacos here and they were really good with the pork belly being tender and them having what I would consider complimentary toppings. I really loved the salsa verde and the acidity it brought as the lime aftertaste from the crema. After that I dug into the Mac and I loved their choice of cavatappi pasta as well as the fact that they used a beer cheese for the sauce. That cheese was tasty and the noodles were a good choice as the cheese stuck on them throughout. The crispy topping did its job and added nice texture while the chicken was a good protein on top. My only complaint here would be that the hot sauce was from aged red peppers (aka a tobasco) versus a cayenne pepper (aka a franks). That's just a personal preference though and other than that I thought it was delicious.The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our drinks and thought that their food was really good too.

Awesome local brewery! Love the service and space. Beer is good/average. Food has always been super tasty. I do feel the price of the food is a little on the steep side for some of the dishes/apps (for a brew pub). I enjoy that they always have something going on and they always seem to be making improvements with rotation of beers and food menu.

To say that going out to eat is a big event in my family, would be an understatement! My daughter and I were going to see my husband's band perform and we had pull the menu up in the middle of the day to talk about what we were going to get.Not being able to decide between the lobster tacos and the pork belly tacos, we discovered that each order comes with three tacos. So, we decided one would order the pork belly tacos, and the other would order the lobster tacos and we trade one for one. Man were we glad we did!First off, the lobster tacos were 100% lobster meat with big claws in them. Sometimes you get lobster and it's really Langostino but these were definitely lobsters. The lobster was served in slightly toasted tortillas and sprinkled with green onion and the green onion was such a perfect complement to the sweetness of the lobster. The tacos were served with a butter dipping sauce, but it had some sort of seasoning in it that made it absolutely delicious. The pork belly tacos were completely different flavor from the lobster ones but packed with flavor. The pork belly was cooked perfectly. There was a delicious cheese, avocado, and then a lime Crema over top all of it. It was amazing!It was our servers very first day, and she knocked it out of the ballpark! The kitchen was on their game because we placed our order and within 10 minutes our food came out. They hire a very thoughtful people who love their job. Earlier when we were there, the bar was absolutely slammed! The cook came out of the kitchen after getting all the food ready and out to help wait at the bar so the bartender could deliver food to tables. It was an awesome thing to see such team work.

Altered Genius is an adorable little brewery in the heart of Ambridge! They have a great covered patio with heaters in addition to their indoor seating. The best news... they are dog friendly! Who doesn't love sipping a drink while admiring cute pups?! They have several beer options (IPAs, stouts, lagers, etc.), and they usually have a seltzer and a cider on tap. I definitely would've loved a few more options for non-beer drinkers (maybe another cider option or basic wines?). The food menu looked very interesting! They had a Asian Salmon Sandwich and a Pulled Pork Mac n' Cheese that I would absolutely love to try on my next visit! We didn't get food this time, but I've heard good things about it! Our waitress was wonderful, and the atmosphere was just what we were looking for on a Saturday afternoon. We will definitely return to try the food!

Amazing beer, atmosphere and staff!! Highly recommend it. Always great new beers to try.
