Thesis Beer Project

Thesis Brewing is a brewery I always make sure to take a look at whenever I'm at a beer festival. So when in Rochester I had to stop by. They are on a 5 barrel system from Portland Kettle Works which allows for both experimentation and some staple beers. Beertender choice in my flight was the Hugs & Kisses Fruited Wheat Ale - which I won't complain about.Thesis Pieces:A Blonde Ale brewed with Peanut Butter and has an addition of Lactose. Light bodied, which you don't see for a peanut beer very often. Doughy malt and a nutty flavor go hand in hand balanced by a sweetness from the lactose. A PB beer you can drink even in the hottest weather!Toasty-WeizenA German Hefeweizen conditioned on freshly toasted coconut. Similar to my other choices, light bodied packed with flavor. Traditional banana and clove Hefeweizen flavors are balanced by a medium toasted coconut flavor that doesn't take over the Hefe aromas / flavors. Bangers Only:A Cold IPA dry hopped with Rakau, Vic Secret, and Wakatu hops. A lighter bodied IPA and brilliantly clear. Medium-high bitterness with a melon / lemon zest flavor on finish.Hugs and Kisses:A Fruited Wheat Ale that the beertender chose as my fourth beer in my flight. Notes of guava, tangerine, and blood orange. Medium body with just a hint of acidity, but mostly on the fruity side. Enjoyable on the patio!_____________________

Stopped in yesterday for the first time. I opted for a flight. As i built a flight I appreciated that the beertender let me sample the Lunchbox & Skol. The staff were friendly, digs comfortable, parking was easy and beer was delicious. Thanks for a great inaugural visit Thesis Beer Project, cheers!

Inside was an average brewery space, nothing special. Plenty of tables. Outdoor seating wasn't great. Table and chairs set up along the sidewalk overlooking the parking lot. The Beer was fantastic! I had a hazy IPA and a Berliner. I was impressed with the variety of brews they had on tap.

Great beer, great ambiance and great people! Looking forward to coming back again because there's plenty more beer to try! Love being able to sit out back and enjoy the good weather, find friends while sipping the afternoon away!

It's rare that a brewery can do something for everyone...here they have done so and done so well. From light beers to dark, fruity beers to sour beers, bitter to ipa...heck they even make seltzer and slushy versions of some of their offerings. A small stage rounds out the establishment along with interesting wall hangings to make this a place worth revisiting.

I've never had peanut butter in beer before. Never thought of that combination, nor did I think it would taste good. When I tried the Reviewer, I was blown away! SO GOOD. Loved the environment, fast service. I will be back!

Nice venue with garage door opening into a small patio. Nice outside/inside feel.Another patio with lawn games in the back of the building. Nice seating area inside the building with a stage. Looks like live music twice weekly. There is a nice selection of tasty home brews. The Food options are very limited. I'm not sure if they have food truck options, but they should.

Small brewery with great beer in a range of styles. We visited in early fall on a day perfect to hang out in the outdoor patio area. We tried a Berliner Weiss and an IPA while there and purchased three additional beers in crowlers.We would have stayed for a longer visit but opted for carry out since there were no food options on the Saturday visit. I wish they had a better website with updated info on food options (or when that isn't available) to better help plan for a visit. I'm unsure how they will adapt in coming months and cooler outdoor temps as the only seating available was outdoor (assuming that is temporary as they have space inside, just not using it when we visited).

Great space, great atmosphere, and great beer. Stopped in for a quick flight, and cant wait to try their next batch.

Newly opened brewery with great brews and a good food truck in back on the day we visited. More space in the back of the building (ie quieter) to enjoy your taco & beer.
