stay in the shallow end

The day after our sad experience at Continental Divide, I was a little apprehensive about taking Jeremy and Tasha somewhere I’ve never been before. Luckily my nervousness was unwarranted. I really enjoyed the atmosphere inside the brewery: high ceilings, big windows, and very relaxed. I was very disappointed that they were no longer selling the pizzas that I’d read so much about on cVillain. We ordered a cheese plate for the table, a few beer samplers, and I ordered the avocado sandwich. The food takes time there, and they make that clear on the menu. Everything is so laid back, though, we really didn’t notice. The avocado sandwich is warm ciabatta bread stacked high with hummus, avocados and veggies. I attempted to eat it as a sandwich, but really, I’d have been better off with a fork and knife. I have nothing but good things to say about this sandwich. Going back to the cheese plate, we received three good size hunks of cheese, a few pieces of salami, and a hot baguette. My only complaint would be that the few pieces of salami were not worth the upcharge for meat at all. As for the beer, I have mixed feelings. While most of the beers were good, the only one I found to be stellar was Evil 8, and I’d had it before. The rest of them were above average, but in my opinion, pale in comparison to South Street. All in all, I’m excited about having another brewery around, and it’ll be a nice place to stop for lunch whenever Kate and I hit up Hill Top Berry Farm and Cardinal Point.
