| - Two stars, your asking? How can that be? Here's how.
My wife and I stopped in for a few beers and lunch. The lunch was excellent. The service was good, the food was tasty, and the staff was attentive.
The beer, amazingly, was the issue. Between the two of us, we had 5 beers. Of those 5, 3 were the wrong beer. I started with the Gose, and then asked for a Petrus Red. What I got was straw colored. It was a sour, and a great beer, but not what I ordered. I liked it so much, I ordered another. She brought me a Gose. My wife ordered the Fore smoked stout, but received a Stone Xocoveza. It's also a great beer, and one of her favorites, but not what she ordered.
A different bar tender stopped to chat, and I mentioned to him that we didn't get the beers we ordered. He let us know that both the Fore and the Petrus were not on tap, and that we had old menus. The bartendress gave us some lame excuse about "pouring based on numbers". We left feeling kind of annoyed - to go into a place named after beer, and have a server that either didn't know the difference between a Flanders red and a Danish blond (Mikkeller Spontan Peach), or figured we wouldn't know the difference is annoying.
I've had this happen once at Town Hall, but never at Nano, Market Garden, Tremont Tap, La Cav du Vin, or Melt.
