Soup Nazi

Stuffed Sand­wich brought it. Avery line up on tap. Mind blow­ing. When the Knives said it was like soup nazi, they meant it. Not to say it isn’t way legit. “No Food? No Beer!” I feel you. It isn’t a bar. The pic­tures of Rea­gan. Not so much. That being said, I am clearly return­ing for Christ­mas in July. (Side Note: who wants to go?!)

Stuffed Sand­wiches

Alright, the review. Food was legit. Straight up veg­gie burger. The best part was the horse­rad­ish. The “free­dom fries” (a.k.a. air fries) were way deli­cious. But that’s clearly sec­ond to the real rea­son we came.

Avery on tap. I know. You can’t believe it. I couldn’t either, but it did. Hog’s Heaven on tap. So cold. So smooth. We were a bit late in the month so we missed the more rare beers. But it was still really cool to see Rev­erend, Hog’s Heaven, and Sal­va­tion on tap.

Thir­teen

We got to chat­ting before we left. Long story short. I bought Avery’s Thir­teen ($9.95/9.5%). I’m a bit behind on this review (one year, Four­teen is very deli­cious as well). Part of their yearly anniver­sary offer­ings. Thir­teen is a cross between a Weiss and Dopple­bock. If this is lost on you. Join the club. Don’t let this stop you. (Side Note: I have never tried an Avery I didn’t like. Even that dark impe­r­ial strong stuff.) Back to Thir­teen. It’s about as tasty as they come. Sim­i­lar to their line up, this tastes very much like tof­fee. Not sweet, but thick and crisp. It’s com­plex. All thick and rich, but sweet and crisp. (Laura’s analy­ses : “It’s like banana bread. It’s sweet, but it still tastes like bread. Molasses.”)
