Yup, same experience here.  At first glance, a seemingly beergeek-friendly 
place, but a lot of the good stuff is old and/or served ICE cold, and in a 
frosted mug, no less.   Even had a fruitless argument with an OC bartender 
about the beer being served much too cold...he was convinced that was 
exactly how it should be served, despite my pointing out that no one in 
England, Germany, or Belgium serves it at such a tasteless temp.  And I've 
had many an import in bottle that had the telltale cardboard waft of 
oxidation.

So, no...not worth your time if there's a decent brewpub around.  I applaud 
OC's effort to offer a good selection, but they need to work harder on 
insuring the beers are in good condition.  I'd rather have things be out of 
stock occasionally than expect what I'm getting is going to be nearly 
undrinkable.  I just don't patronize them anymore, it's not worth it.

Cheers,
Ern
