“A conundrum and a challenge: Can there ever really be too much Too Much Coffee Porter? I doubt it!

So … puleeze get that brew to the keg asap.”

“Our server was fantastic - food done as we ordered and quite delicious. BUT she was so overworked it took over 20 minutes to get our check and then she hardly had time to get payment. She did all she could but it was a lot for just two servers in the dining room.”
