Schweet! (Water)
I tell you, these Great American Restaurants are just printing money. Wednesday night, 7:30 pm – was quoted a 25 minute wait, was more like a 40 minute wait.
But I’ve got to say, the food is always great, the service outstanding and the beer is delicious! Plus it’s only a 5 minute drive from my house!
Tonight I had a Great American Restaurants Pale Ale – just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? Well, it was a Gold Medal Winner at the 2010 Great American Beer Festival (in the Extra Special Bitter or Strong Bitter category). Nice golden color, great combination of hops and malt tastes. I almost gave it an “Outstanding”, but I’m holding back on that.
I also had an Outlaw Ale, dark colored with a toasty, malt taste – also quite good, but it doesn’t count for today. I figure by the time I’m done with the year, I will have actually had over 400 different beers… but who’s counting?
What else is on tap at Sweetwater? Check it out!
A: you have two "day 88s"
ReplyDeleteB: as much as I like Sweetwater, I can't see myself waiting 40 minutes for it- you are far more patient than I am....unless you were waiting in the bar, of course; that's a different story.
A: Fixed it. Thankfully, someone's paying attention.
ReplyDeleteB: I heard other people quoted an hour and a half wait - on a Wednesday - and they waited!
