| - A local friend suggested we start our day at Craftsman, as she had been to several restaurants in the same group and found them all to be pretty tasty. She was not wrong. They have a nice beer selection with a good variety of local beers.
We started out with the pretzels, which were good but nothing special. I feel like if pretzels are something common in your town, you really have to do something to make them stand out a bit--these were pretty simple.
I ordered the bahn mi sandwich, and it was delicious. I'm not a big sandwich person (I leave that to the hubs), but if I had to pick a sandwich to convert me, this is a contender. Soft bread, slightly spicy mayo, and flavorful meats and vegetables. It's not really a bahn mi, so if you're a traditionalist, you might want to skip this one. The cheese curds I ordered as my side were crispy, creamy, and had the right amount of squeak. The hubs ordered the biscuits and gravy benedict, which he said was delicious. They come with skillet potatoes which basically look like thick potato chips. Salty and slightly crispy on the outside, smooth and creamy on the inside.
After we had finished our meal, someone came by and let us know that beer bingo would be starting soon. Beer bingo? I love beer bingo! We hung out for a bit, played a few rounds, and had a couple more brews before we decided to head out. There are beers and gear available as prizes (I won a beer for knowing the answer to a trivia question!).
Do it. Go play beer bingo!
