So, the better half's birthday today. We go out for dinner to a pretty decent restaurant, The Monteiths Tasting Room. Great food (Hop smoked pork loin!!) And a pretty decent three page wine list. I ask the waitress what beer is available.
The 6 monteiths beers, Heineken, Export Gold and Sol. FFS its supposed to be a beer themed restaurant! They will quite happily sell you a $220 bottle of champagne, but a decent beer? thats asking too much. I can't say I was expecting much from outside the DB family, but at least one tasty beer would have been nice.
And another point, when you put the og, fg and bitterness of your "Craft" beers in a menu, please do not claim that 20 IBU is a very bitter beer. Thats just stupid. And miss "I think i know beer" waitress - don't try and tell me that monteiths black is a stout, or that heineken is realy expensive to brew because they only use hops and no malt.
Rant mode off. Going to console myself with homebrew
