| - This was the first stop on our rainy day in the Burgh Brewery Tour. I've driven past here many times and loved the outdoor seating area. The interior is dimly lit and has a great vibe to it with a huge mural and wooden walls. The place was packed and pretty loud but not ear splitting and we were quickly greeted and redirected to a different table because the one we chose was so wobbly, he likened it to dining on a cruise ship. Ahoy DRAAI LAAG brewery men! Permission to sample some beers?
Once we got setup at our new table, we chose some beer and some food. The beers are all pretty sour which I typically associate with gose style beers (which I think are German sour beers) but they call theirs wild, I believe, and these are more French and Belgian. I am obviously not a beer snob but I took time to ask our server about this and he explained it although I may have butchered his technical brewing explanation. We also tried to ask him about the pending change to this brewery - a new name -and we wanted to understand what that meant to the beers they might add to their offerings. He was not very helpful in that regard. The new brewery will be called Strange Roots Experimental Ales but we have no idea what new brews will be brewing, folks.
The food was very good. Surprisingly good, actually, because no one was eating in the entire place. We wavered on whether or not to order for several minutes and then decided, why not? Boy, am I glad we did!
We tried the smoked pork tacos that come with a little pickled onion, lime, cilantro, and cotija cheese. Super flavor profile. We devoured ours in a short order but left a mess since we split the two tacos and they never brought a plate or anything to split them. Mucho messio!
The beers were good too. I have been wanting to try more of the sours and this was a great selection. It takes some getting used to, for sure, but there is a beauty in these sours that you don't find in other styles of beer. If you are interested in trying some, the sampler of three for $12 is the way to go. You get a nice pour of each and can easily share them. Our favorite was the Wit but the raspberry was pretty good too.
The only issue we had, and this is sort of a big one, was the service. It's a strange setup if you are not familiar with the place. There are tables or bars you can sit at but the servers are also the bartenders (at least it appeared that way) so when the place gets a big group, all servers on deck to pour beers and forget about asking your server for something. I was ready to leave at one point but my "better half" wanted to stay so we did. So you don't really have an assigned waiter. They need to tell you that or change their model to have actual servers. It's annoying when you don't understand their service model and results in a less than stellar experience. It all made sense when we asked for our check and he asked if we started a "tab."
