After a long day of sampling beers, this is even more likely. I certainly don't hold myself up as some sort of arbiter of taste; rather I share the things that work for me, in the hope that others might enjoy them, too. Sorry you didn't enjoy the meal as much as I did.<br /><br />Most of my co-diners were underwhelmed by the salad. I liked it, though it was the weakest pairing, in my opinion.<br /><br />We were lucky; our rice was not undercooked, and was delicious.<br /><br />As noted above, I found that the IPA highlighted the Cascade infusion in the flan.<br /><br />Of course, it may only be that I enjoy gross salads and awful beers....Himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443099477307208613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886848432408010824.post-45042735967772220492011-06-27T00:54:06.460-04:002011-06-27T00:54:06.460-04:00are you kidding?
the only beer that paired at all ...are you kidding?<br />the only beer that paired at all was the mocha. and only because it was so mild and bland. the "oregasmic" ale was far hoppier then the brutal ipa. and with a salad? really?<br /><br />the salad was fine on its own, but add the dressing or pair with the beer and it was gross.<br /><br />the rice was undercooked on every plate at our table, though ill agree the mole was good.<br /><br />the flan was the highpoint of the meal, but if you even tasted the brutal, your palate was overwhelmed and you couldnt taste any of the cascade within the flan.<br /><br />i dont blame mr paxton. he had a set of awful beers to work with. and a enormous group of 1900 people to serve. but no. this was not a amazing meal. it was ok. and only if you didnt try to pair it with the beers served.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
