Notes: I feel so bad for this place, because I don't think I've ever come here smelling particularly good.  They're perfectly situated at the south-western end of one of my boyfriend and my favorite playgrounds, so we always end up stopping by on our way home after three days in the mountains.  We couldn't ask for a better spot to recover in.  Cozy, with cute historic decor.  I love the wallpaper!  Great beer, and excellent food.  

The stout is incredibly smooth and creamy, and oh so light.  The red and brown are also very good, but all the brews are quality.  My only complaint on the beer end is that the seasonal was only available in bottles.  We've had samplers on previous occasions and everything was good quality.  Pick your favorite style and you won't go wrong.

We're here so rarely, and remember fondly our favorites, so we don't tend to branch out a lot on the food options.  The pumpkin-walnut ravioli appetizer is to die for.  It can't be too healthy with the creamy-cheesy-spicy sauce, but after climbing two mountains in the snow, I wasn't counting calories.  I had a salad to go with the appetizer this time.  The greek salad with the homemade stout balsamic vinaigrette.  Very excellent.  I usually get the portabella sandwich, which is also a winner, but I felt I needed some greens this time.  My boyfriend almost always gets this insane looking concoction called the train wreck.  It's listed as a sandwich but it takes a knife and fork to attack.  Good recovery food.
