A friend and I happened to be in Copley for the morning and decided to satisfy our appetites at the Brighten Brewery nearby. With tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day, of course they had a specially modified Reuben and I ordered that along with a pint of something wet.

In my experience, Brighten is known for their beer and soft pretzels. A colleague of mine particularly likes their beer cheese, while I prefer their mustard.

I’ve never had a bad Stout at Brighten and their Hazy IPA selection is usually pretty robust.

The Reuben was fantastic and I would certainly go back for a second meal should the chance ever present itself. The Corned Beef was sliced thinly, and jumbled just enough that it didn’t feel too compressed.

The Rye bread was just the right compliment to the beef and the extra sauce was a nice addition.
