Praises continue to pour in for Red Bank brewery and Italian Grill Basil T’s. The restaurant and its hand crafted beer received high reviews in recent restaurant rankings from the readers and writers of two leading New Jersey magazines.

New Jersey Monthly’s 27th Annual Readers’ Choice Restaurant Poll awards the brews of the Red Bank brewery and Italian restaurant as the winner in the Best Beer and Best Pub categories in Central Jersey.

Basil T’s continues to impress critics and guests with its fresh Italian meals and homemade beer. The 24-year-old restaurant has become a local favorite and one of the best restaurants and bars in Red Bank. The Red Bank microbrewery features a minimum of six hand crafted ales each season.

All of the beers are brewed by Gretchen Schmidhausler, who is only the second Head Brewer in Basil T’s history. She has been brewing beers for over 14 years and is a graduate of the American Brewers Guild’s Craftbrewers Apprenticeship Program, in Woodland, CA.

Basil T’s was recently featured in Draft Magazine’s Online Exclusive: Top 10 Beers Brewed by Women, honoring Basil T’s brewer Gretchen Schmidhausler.

Gretchen and Basil T’s have also received recognition for The Original Basil T’s Maxwell’s Dry Stout:

Brewmaster of New Jersey Bar Visits Historic German Tavern

Mon, 31 May 2010 15:03:24 +0000

Brewmaster Gretchen Schmidhausler of Basil Ts Brewery & Italian Grill, one of the best bars in New Jersey, recently returned from a trip to Germany where she had the enviable opportunity to sample some locally-brewed varieties of beer.

During her stay in Bavaria, one of the world’s true beer meccas, Gretchen visited Wurstkuchl, a tavern situated along the Danube River . Wurstkuchl (pictured, right) has roots that date back to the 12th century when the location provided slow-simmered meals for stonemasons, dockers and crane workers.

Though now geared largely toward visitors, Wurstkuchl serves much the same purpose it did hundreds of years ago: providing its patrons with delicious food and drink.

While there Gretchen enjoyed Bavarian wheat beers, dark and golden lagers, and Rauch (smoked) beers. The tastes and aromas will serve as inspiration for future beers brewed at the Red Bank bar Basil T’s.

Never satisfied with producing anything less than the best, Gretchen is always looking for ways to improve an already award-winning selection of beers at Basil Ts.
