Maltose Falcons

I went here during a business trip with my boss. If you come the wrong way on the road, you can easily miss the sign! The place is tucked into a tourist mall at the base of the mountain gondola and near the Nevada casinos, but the atmosphere is not touristy at all.

Next week I'll be in the Tahoe/Reno area.  I'm trying to decide between the Stateline Brewery/REstaurant and the Silverpeak Brewery/REstaurant.   Does anybody have an opinion? 

I find myself in Solano county wanting dinner.  I just came back from touring the Jelly Belly factory (what fun) and was looking for  libation during the Lakers (Flakers) game.  Accross the street from my hotel was a local brewpub called the Blue Frog.   Why "the Blue Frog"? Apparently the founders/owners have been singing the Peter, Paul & Mary song since they were first married. 

Sunday's menu will be:

Beef Stroganoff with buttered noodles

candied carrotts

salad

dessert

All for the low price of $6.00. 

The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind. -- Humphrey Bogart

I saw this featured on "Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives" on Food Network.  The restaurant is located at the marina in Long Beach.  As its name suggests, it features beverages in 'schooner' glasses.  While the bar is a prominent feature, the food here is very good!

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - Mild beer, last in fashion when the Beatles were still at school, is making a comeback in Britain, according to a real ale lobby group.Responding to a growing number of requests from beer buffs, breweries are beginning to produce more Mild and pubs are finding demand for the dark, malty ale is rising.

In a survey of 500 real ale drinkers across the UK, the group found that 64 percent of them had seen an increase in the number of Mild beers served at pubs and beer festivals over the past 5 years.

 IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Because of a stupid little football game, the February meeting will be on Saturday February 6, but the Annual Chili Cook-off will go ahead as scheduled.  Please post here or e-mail theburgermeister [at] maltosefalcons [dot] com ( Burgermeister) of your intention to enter a chili.  Please plan to arrive about noon to start heating the chilis.  

As was stated at the meeting:
