Cantillon Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru (750ml)
5% ABV, Cantillon is arguably one of the world's most distinguished and recognized breweries for traditional belgian lambics. Rarely found, and often highly sought after, these beers never last long on our menus!!!Beer with a highly complex structure that has a wine-like and somewhat oxidised taste, the slightly acidic structures mingling with more mellow aspects. Powerful yet elegant, Bruocsella can be considered the missing link between the worlds of wine and beer. Since there is no secondary fermentation in the bottle Bruocsella is a flat, non-sparkling beer.
Cantillon Rose De Gambrinus (375ml)
5.5% ABV, Cantillon is arguably one of the world's most distinguished and recognized breweries for traditional belgian lambics. Rarely found, and often highly sought after, these beers never last long on our menus!!!Blend of lambics and raspberries - 200 g of raspberries per litre of beer.Beer with a slightly acidic, fruity and fragrant taste.Just like kriek, the "fruitiness" of Rosé de Gambrinus is at its best when the beer is young. With age the lambic will take the upper hand, but this is at the expense of the fruit component.

The pastrami sandwich at Refuge is even better than those in the famous NY deli. The pastrami is lean , tender and tasty. Wait staff is knowledeable about their extensive list of beers. The place is a bit noisy. The outdoor seating in tge patio is delightful and well done. Tge only readoni only gave 4 stars for service is that tge service isnt attentive and lacks folliw up. I asked fir hot water refill and the waiter simply forgot.

Second time for our group to join the Trivia night fun and enjoy a good meal at the same time. Service, food, and the trivia game were all great! Service was quick, food was tasty and the trivia host was engaging and kept the game moving along. Fun time :)

FOOD 3.5
We shared an order of fries and a pastrami sandwich. The pastrami was sliced thick and very tender with slaw, pickles, and pickled onions on toasted rye bread. Crazy Russian dressing served on the side. Sandwich is a 4.5. One of the better pastrami sandwiches I’ve had in the Bay Area. French fries came out really fast, so it almost seems like they were pre-fried instead of fried to order. 2.5 for the fries
