What a great event. We arrived early and it's a good thing because the place filled up fast.
Now, I certainly didn't sit there and have ten pints of beer, but between the five of us we managed to try all of them. It was fun to taste the different taste profiles of the same style of beer.
As expected, there wasn't a bad one in the bunch, but I'd have to say my favorites where the Black IPA (nice malty counterpoint to the hops), the Belgian, the Imperial (very Hopslam-esque, which is a compliment), and the one brewed with rice and Sorachi Ace hops.
And I haven't even mentioned the Rye-PA, the dangerously smooth Nitro, or the fabulous single hop varieties. I wish it had been a three day event so I could have had an entire pint of each one.
For lunch, I ordered a flatiron steak sandwich off of the specials board. Very tasty, tender, and cooked medium rare as requested.
Great service from Leslee. They were all kept quite busy!
