Off The Rails Brewing

I've had a couple Off The Rails beers in the last year, but this is my first trip to the brewery. I went twice while the daughter was busy with other business. Good menu with old-reliable styles and more modern takes. I had a flight one visit and the bigger IPA and barleywine on the second. The IPAs were all pretty good, but the standard styles seemed to have a "house flavor" that wasn't offensive, just not welcome. The food looks solid and there are gluten free options. Just had some chips and salsa on my 1st visit. I really wanted to get a crowler of the barleywine to take home, but they allegedly don't have a crowler machine anymore. This is a problem all across eastern and southern Idaho, seems like nobody has a crowler machine and every place that has one, nobody knows how to use it. Really big inviting space seems about right for a college town, but the space has different areas that allow separation and a little privacy if you want. I enjoyed both visits at the bar. Super easy to get to and is on the main drag in downtown Pocatello.

This is our favorite spot in Pocatello. I’m gluten free and the owners have plenty of options for me both with food and beverage. The servers always remember us when we come in and sometimes we even bring our toddlers along. We’ve enjoyed the live music in the evening as well. Put this on your list if you’re stopping through!
