Recon Brewing At Meeder

This is a review for the food, not the drinks, so have that in mind!The events, atmosphere, outdoor area is nice especially for being local and close by. However, I personally wouldn't pick this place to go for food, as most of it is pre-made, pre-cooked chicken, etc type food. The service isn't super friendly when i've gone.(For example, I ordered something without olives. The waitress gave me it with olives, unfortunately couldn't eat my meal even though I tried. When I told her she didn't offer to exchange or comp the meal, and still added it to the bill. I went up and later asked if she could take it off, which she did in the end) If they could redo their menu adding more fresh whole options, add some more lively music, just make it over all a brighter friendly fresher place.. I'd be eating here every day! I'd just love to see it upgraded as it could be such a great place.

First time here. Neat place with an industrial vibe. We stopped on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We shared the Sriracha Bourbon Chicken Flatbread & Antipasta salad w balsamic & each had a flight of beer. Everything was very tasty. The beers are very good! Lots of activities are going on almost every day. Look forward to returning the nicer weather coming up.

I stopped by here this past Friday with a former coworker for some afternoon drinks. Today was actually the third time that I had been to Recon Brewing at Meeder and for some reason I hadn't written a review yet. As its name states it's located inside the Meeder Development right near 19 in Cranberry. This location is actually quite big and had both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a large bar. There are TVs around and on this day golf was on them.As I often do whenever I visit a brewery, I decided on a flight this day. Flights at Recon Brewing consist of 4 pours and so I chose the OK 2 Talk, Meeder, More than Words and Sip Sip Sahooty. First up was the Ok 2 Talk stout which was on the Karma Tap, whatever that means. This beer was pretty good and it was nice and clean at the start before those dark smokey malts came in which lasted through the finish. Up second was the Meeder which was an Irish Red Ale. The beer starts off with a bit of caramel flavor before moving into some hoppy bitterness at the finish. It's not the overpowering hop of an IPA and more akin to an ESB. Third was the More than words which was a hazy New England IPA. The hops were there from start to finish with some citrusy flavors in the middle. Last but certainly not least was the Sip Sip Sahooty which was a Hazy New England Imperial IPA. Like the other IPA it starts off with a strong hop flavor before some citrus adds in. Honestly I didn't like the flavor of it as it was over the top and just not pleasant to my palate. Out of the bunch I think I liked the OK 2 Talk and then the Meeder the best.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Obviously I already have as I do enjoy both their beer as well as the location/setup.

I went to Recon Brewing recently and loved the beer I had! I tried the 200 Carrot beer and it was super unique with a fantastic base taste to the beer. My Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich was very solid, the chicken was just a little chewy but still quite tasty. Finally, the nachos (pictured below) tasted fine but were very basic with only cheese and jalapeños on top of them. They tasted like cheaper store-bought chips so the price was a little much for them in my opinion. That is the only thing that truly knocked down my rating but I enjoyed my experience, the ambiance was very cool, and staff was very friendly! I will definitely return to try other beer and food in the future!

Good beer. Didn't try the food. $18 for a can of beer to go! But tap beers were reasonable and tasty. Played DJ trivia and had a blast. Attentive and friendly bartenders. Tip them well, please.

If you want something new in cranberry you need to stop by Recon brewing. It is right in the middle of the Meder home complex. Fun place to stop by for a lunch and beverage

My wife and I try to eat here once per week. She works nearby and it's always a great spot to stop in. I'm envious of the people who live in the community!The food is really good. I LOVE their flatbreads. But the wraps are good too! They have some great go-to beers always on tap. I like their amber lager. The service? Always always good. Never an issue. There's indoor and outdoor seating options. On weekends they have live music. It's really a great place! I highly recommend!

Recon is my go-to brew pub in Cranberry Township. I started going shortly after they opened & they just keep getting better & better. Such a wonderful staff, shout out to Harlee (moved to NC), Hailey, Anna, Kayla, Jordan, Kristen & everyone who makes each visit friendly & fun for regulars & newbies alike. I'm on my second Mug Club membership & new beers are tapped often. Don't hesitate to ask for a sample taste or try a flight of 4. They also have mead & cider on tap & make craft cocktails (all PA spirits) & serve PA wines & seltzers. The sodas are are made in PA. Support Local! The food menu has definitely been ramped up since they opened & new specials come out seasonally, as do their seasonal cocktails. My current fave menu item is their Reuben flatbread, but there is a great flatbread, sandwich, salad & appetizer selection now. Tuesday is trivia night (be sure to call for a reservation or you may miss out, it gets packed!) & Thursday is now karaoke night. They have a patio for warmer weather & are pup friendly on the patio too (they'll bring out a water bowl for your dog). Mug Club members receive special perks & a private member party in summer. What's not to like? Check them out if you're in the area. They are right off Rt 19 at Rochester Rd in the Meeder community.

Nice little brewpub in the Meeder development, and a brewery that I haven't tried their beer before. We had prompt service on a slower day and we enjoyed all of the different brews we orderedI especially liked their steak grinder with a nice mix of pepper relish on top. Looking forward to trying this place again!

Great food, drinks, and service. The bar and outdoor area are very nice and there is plenty of room to sit. I love the trivia nights on Tuesdays and the salmon salad and drink options are fantastic.
