Inversion IPA w/buttermilk marinated salt 'n peppa fried chicken with flash fried sage & rosemary and yukon gold scalloped taters 'o gratin:) Inversion is has a predominantly malty finish with some fresh hops in the background...the sweetness offset the savory chicken...I like.

Beef Mechado and Mongo IPA

Monday meal...Mechado 'n Mongo IPA...slow braised tomato, lemon, laurel leaf, garlic and onion beef with a savory sauce that has a citrus punch...a traditional Filipino dish inspired by my late Ninong Ruperto who often times had this yummin

ess prepared at their S.F. home when we visited. He was the Godfather and guiding light who helped many Filipino immigrants settle and find jobs in S.F. throughout the 60's and 70's...many thanks to you Ninong Joe...salamat po!
