Alameda Brewing

After trolling for quite a while looking for someplace to eat on the Fourth of July, we ended up here. Sweetie got an ISA, Indian Summer Ale, which was hoppier than expected; I got the seasonal Amber, which was quite drinkable. I had a burger, giant (1/2 pound) and not cooked to order with steak fries -- I'm not crazy about steak fries but these weren't bad, and the burger was pleasant. Sweetie got a philly cheese steak with marinara sauce for dipping -- that was a success.

Two women sat behind us and provided entertainment for our meal. At one point, one of them said, "I come here often. Sometimes I want a beer and some pubgrub. Sometimes I want a real dinner and a real drink -- a martini and a steak. They make a good martini here."
