I was able to spend an evening in San Francisco on my last night on this particular visit, and we found ourselves in what I can only really describe as antapas bar specialising in Indian cuisine. So what was a boy to have in such bizarre surroundings? Well, a beer from Traquair House – about 30 miles south of my home back in Scotland – of course! Add that to the fact the beer is brewed with coriander, and the odd combination of everything is complete!
However, it was a decent drop. The coriander was present on the nose and in the aftertaste, adding a lovely herbal note. It’s a very dark beer, with hints of chocolate – and very nice with some Indian bites! At 8% though, not exactly ideal as a session beer!
[...] previously consumed a beer from back home, it seems only right that the circle is complete and some local San Francisco brew is enjoyed also! [...]
