Two Brothers Roundhouse: Questions Arise on Direction

We've all been wondering how the Roundhouse has been working out, since all the reports have been from Aurora residents who have basically been comparing it to the previous version of it. So, I was glad to hear from Bingo, a Two Brothers Fan, who recently visited it for his birthday.

Since the Two Brothers bought the place and renovated it I was expecting some changes, because I heard that they were using the old European copper tanks and the place needed a major cleanup. I personally wasn't sure how things were going to work out since the place already had its own feel and personality, and I didn't know if they would be able to make it their own. In other words, I wondered if they would have just made it an enlarged version of the tap house since they brought in their chef and manager from Warrenville.

Bingo says the food is good and tasty, with a comfortable atmosphere. He didn't have any problem with that. In fact, he saw it filled up fast, so others are showing interest.

But he wasn't so thrilled with the beer. He had one of the Roundhouse Only beers, the Robust Porter, which was a good one, but that was the only one available.  The rest,  although they were on tap, were the regular Two Brothers offerings, without any surprises. Which is unusual, since the tap house would, at least, have something fun occasionally, like in the cask or oak aged.

He settled with some import bottles where things tended to improve for him. Alas, he finished the night with one of the best Imperial Stouts I have had, the Northwind.

Overall, not the greatest beer experience, especially for someone who prefers the higher alcohol brews. How about some Imperials only served there, for example, or providing carry outs like the tap house?
