| - A friend and I were wandering looking for somewhere to grab a drink and snacks on a Saturday night, and she suggested we go here. Since I'm always looking to expand my beer horizons and had read lots of great things about this place, I was very excited. And it did not disappoint - I can't wait to go back and have been raving to friends about how they have to go. Maybe it just totally hit the spot for what I was in the mood for, but I loved everything about my experience here.
First off, the patio is brilliant - it's big, has a mixture of community style picnic tables and cute, smaller tables and a great ambiance. When the host sat us with three other people at one of the picnic tables I was not too impressed having never sat with strangers at a restaurant like this, but it was surprisingly comfortable. Their conversation didn't get in the way of ours (and hopefully vice versa) and I didn't even really notice I was sitting next to anyone. The different types of beer they offer are up on a chalkboard about the restaurant entrance but each table also had a mini clipboard with very detailed descriptions of what they are which I thought was fantastic. I'm far from being a beer connoisseur, but am trying to learn more about different types of beer and things like this are definitely helpful! I started with the Petal Pusher, a Belgian pale ale. It was light and refreshing but had a slight bitterness, and was delish. My friend had the Muggelweisse, which was a darker sour beer, and despite me thinking that "sour beer" sounded awful, I tried a sip and ended up ordering it as my second drink. I'd never had a beer anything like it before, and it was absolutely phenomenal. I wish I could provide a more beer-snobby fancy description, but it's simply amazing. Her second drink was another sour beer but this one was smoked and I also loved that. The sourness that hit your tongue when you first sipped it was tasty but then it had a smokey flavour come through after, too good.
I just noticed the time and realized I had to wrap this up, but we also had the cheese board that came with four types of unreal cheeses, the bread and vegetarian dip (it was an eggplant based dip that night, very hearty, earthy flavour to it, almost reminded me of a stew) and the peanuts - all of which were ah-mazing. The peanuts were ridiculously good, if you like that kinda thing. Great spices used, too good! This place is a must-go!
