Give it up to Gordon Biersch, they know how to throw a good party. Last night was no exception as we were treated to a taste of their new brew and some good food.
I used to frequent GB in the SF bay area at their many locations. So it is not surprising that it has recently become my go to spot of choice. It also doesn't hurt that they have one of the best happy hours in town.
Last night was another tapping party, I had been to the Winterbock tapping party a few months back and had a great time. Last night was for their German style HellesBock, a nice hoppy number with ample bitterness, a nice amber in color, clocking in at 28 BPUs and 8% alcohol.
The brewmaster explained they made the beer to pair with the existing menu, as they had just revamped the regular menu and did not roll out a special menu for this particular beer. We enjoyed their tapas appetizer (pita bread with olive tapanad, roasted garlic, sundried tomatoes & hummus), garlic fries and pepperoni pizza at last nights tasting.
Neal (@NealMason) joined me for last nights event and we hung around after it was over, meeting some of the other folks in attendance. Although last night was not as jam packed as the Winterbock tasting, a good time was had by all!
