For Valentine's Day this year (the night my father calls "amateur night"), we decided to try something different and got tickets for a beer & cheese tasting at Rogue Ale House. That's right - EIGHT courses of beer & cheese! Well, technically it was six courses of beer & cheese, then two courses of beer & some form of chocolate - decadent! Here is the menu for the evening:
It was open seating, so two strangers sat next to us and we chatted throughout each of the courses. It was sort of strange to share what is supposed to be the most romantic evening of the year with complete strangers, but it was also refreshing and certainly great for Dave & me since we only know a handful of people here! What our real goal for the evening was to do a site inspection of Rogue and see if it will be up to par for my future-brother-in-law, Jon, and his beer connoisseur palate. Rogue certainly lives up to the reputation and we also got a tip to go to Toronado, a supposed hole-in-the-wall in the Haight district known for its amazing selection of local brews. Here are a few pics from the night. We counted several of the courses:
Things get a little more shaky after #5 and #6...
...but they sure do clear up nicely when #8 is served with a homemade macaroon!
