A wall of vintage beer cans decorates the wall at the Brickskeller. I met an old friend there last night and caught up on everything from labor history to obscure Russian films. Good times.
Have I mentioned that I love the Brickskeller? If you go and are overwhelmed by the beer list, I can recommend:
- Victory Golden Monkey Tripel (a very alcoholic but tasty beer from Pennsylvania)
- Tusker, a Kenyan lager that's just slightly sweet
- Wurzeberger (sp?), a German wheat bear that doesn't quite compete w/Tucher but comes inn the same large (16.9 oz, I think) bottles and requires a very artful pour; it's also a great deal at only $5.95 or so
- Unibroue Trois Pistoles, a Canadian beer that's hard to explain, but if you like Belgian beers, you'll probably like this
- Young's Oatmeal Stout, a nice creamy stout that goes splendidly w/a burger
