Longtable

Earlier this week I had dinner with friends at Longtable Beer Cafe. It had been a while since I'd been there.

I began with a can of McFleshman's English Pale in preparation for flying across the ocean and enjoying pints of cellar temperature ales.

It was quite tasty with herbal-floral notes from the hops instead of tasting like Hawaiian Punch.

The brisket salad was good.

The brisket was tasty but needed more smokiness. More jalapeno would have been nice too.

My second brew was a fine rauchbier. 

The beer cheddar soup was good too. Tasted from scratch instead of from Cisco.

One of my companions had a German-style pils from Working Draft, Hindsight. I love the stuff and his discerning palate enjoyed it. 

Tasty food & beer plus bonus points for having Schlenkerla rauchbier on offer and additional bonus points for having not 1, not 2, but 3 flavors of Schlenkerla. Plus the company was great.
