Faves: food was fun, well thought out and executed. But, dah beeeeeeeeeeer...
Perhaps you are familiar; this guy is twisted, somehow, dropped at birth or something. His ales inspired by Belgian, and they say, French counterparts, are the thing of dreams. Tastes unlike I've had anywhere else, and I've travelled. He gets yeasts from... Well, interesting places (you go ask him, or google it) and the result is extraordinary. Wine, bourbon barrels, hints or more of berries, sour, dry or sweet... All over the place. Complex but it comes off simple; I didn't find myself shaking my head, only enjoying and wanting more, More, MORE.
Careful; octanes tend to be high.
K very much enjoyed the Red Bri'ar, which is only a touch sweeter but right for her palate which is usually more inclined to the sweet. Don't be scared by the "framboise" in the description.
LaPienture? A berry sour, but so much more. A craving.
Try these before you commit to a whole one; flights w a bud to find what you like. These are weird in a magnificently wonderful way, but certainly not all will appeal. Ask your server, s/he will take time to discuss w you what will fit your taste.
I want to say this place is pretentious but cannot justify that. Perhaps it's more some of the clientele? The servers are grounded, competent, friendly and otherwise awesome. Warm weather opens their beer garden, but the inside is warm and welcoming.
