| - Beer = 6 stars.
Food = 2.
This was always the thing that pissed me off about having GLBC and Rock Bottom both in Cleveland. Rock Bottom's beer was decent and all, but it was a chain, and so not too exciting. But their food was really great! I miss the salmon fish and chips!!
GLBC is the best beer anywhere. Period. IMNSHO.
The bourbon barrel blackout stout was heavenly. This year's Christmas Ale, while not their best Christmas Ale ever, is still better than 99% of the beer sold in this country. The Quitness was very unique and delicious, and even their pilsner is a stand-up beer.
But, the food... oh, the food. Pretzels, check. Sausage platter, check. Dessert, check. Entrees? Bzzzt. What a bunch of lame-o crap. I had the mac and cheese, and it was like a side portion and nothing to write home about. My wife had the flat iron steak, which was weak. Cut up and put into my mac and cheese, I created a 3-star dish. One of our friends got the butternut squash ravioli, and it was flavorless mush inside of dried out noodles. Bleh...
But the beer rocked, and I will remember next time to just do beer, pretzels, sausage, and cake.
