Gastrofreaks,
I cannot say enough positive things about my visit to Park Bench Brewing Co. in Augusta, Kansas. Not only was the flagship beer (the Leshikar Lager) excellent, but so was the service and the friendly customers.
I rolled by on a lazy Sunday recently when it had just opened and there were only a couple of other customers. But that allowed me to learn a bit about the owner’s German heritage and how this brewery came together a couple of years ago. And need I mention how cool the building and walls of this place are? I think not. It’s obvious.
In addition to the Leshikar Lager, I also had the Citra Session IPA, Augtober Fest and Hell of a Bock on my flight. Out of the four beers I tried, certainly the Leshikar Lager was my favorite, but my second would be the Hell of a Bock.
