| - Ventured out to the Atwood area for dinner during the annual Summerfest. We knew the fun and festivities of the fest would probably mean a wait, but we decided to see what was happening. Just a couple of blocks down from the closed streets, there were ample tables available at Next Door Brewing. We started with the Eastside APA and Shack Farmhouse Ale. The APA was exactly what I wanted on a warm sunny summer evening. Light and crisp. The Shack was not enjoyed as much as other saisons we've had this summer, but the bottom of the glass was reached. I then tried the WPA, but found the APA more to my liking. Friendly and attentive wait staff. Not sure what happened to the other recent reviewer, but we got our waters quickly(both of us), and she was stopping by often to check on things.
We ordered the burgers. I went with the Wis-Cali, choice of beef over chicken. Another fine burger for me. The combo of the fried avocado with the jalapeno ranch was a fiesta in each bite. And I love finding Knoche's beef on the eastside. Keep it up! She had the Yahara burger and it was done to perfection, but the sweet potato crisps were raved and raved about. We'll be back as we are adding this to our return list. I'll want to try more from the beer list, and also their appys and that sassy bird sandwich. Great spot, although no cribbage board. :(
We then returned to the Atwood Summerfest, ran into a couple of friends, and enjoyed some fun 70s music and the fine weather.
