Wednesday Working on It Blogging
Amy had a steak sandwich that was on the Philly cheese steak model for taste (good grilled peppers and onions) but with chunkier beef. I had one of the pizzas, a fennel sausage that said it had oregano on it on the menu probably because it really had oregano--it's good to taste ingredients when they're supposed to be there. It's sort of an old-fashioned style pizza, very thin, crackly crisp crust with enough topping but nothing whopping. Tasty and perfect beer food.
The good news is the beers just seem to get better, and not just after having a few. Amy had whatever they're calling their IPA now and it nailed the style, while I tried the fancifully named The J, an amber that features toasted hemp seeds. I'm not sure why I needed a second pizza, but I did. Seriously, the beer's rich roast was immensely satisfying and well balanced by hops. And then for my second I went to the ever-impressive guest list, passing up on beers from Port and Bear Republic to go with a Green Flash IPA that tasted so fresh they must have brewed it on the truck on the way up from San Diego.
If the place keeps improving like this, Amy and I might have to think about moving to Goleta.
Naw, it can't get that good.

Plenty of room for the dogs, George. And when hell freezes over and K consents to a basset or two (Hegel's greyhounds), we'll see you out on the bluffs.
I'll try again George. First try out there (walking distance from my place) was very disappointing... 10 minute wait and unpleasant beer... organic amber I think.
Man I feel like I have heard this before...
No but really when I went it was good...it was a little after you went the first time and from the sounds of it I was at a halfway point between what you had the first time and the second. thanks for the heads up...I will have to try again.
