Week 12 Recovery and a nice sit down dinner with BEER!!!!

So considering that it is Wednesday a full week after the debauchery that was the Irish Festival, I thought it was finally high time to get off of my arse and actually write the blog!!!  Well, while it is a fact that we spent a very long time enjoying Piper Down and the festivities of this years St. Patrick's Day, We still had the serious duty to our loyal readers to fit in another establishment during the week in which we could blog and review.  This week was the original Utah Pub...Desert Edge Brewery (formerly know as The Pub in Trolley Square).  Now this pub is a wee bit different than the bars and clubs we have all been attending since the PITLOZ group has gone about.  First food is very important and this is also the first pub where we get to sample local microbrews in their home environment.  To say the least I was very happy with both.  For dinner I ordered the French Onion Soup with the side of fresh fruit (and it is the time that the strawberries are coming in from California yum), Gina and Jon ordered the French Onion Soup and the Rare Roast Beef Sandwich, David ordered a Mushroom Bacon Burger (off menu) and lastly Melanie had the French Onion Soup as well.  So without a doubt, the French Onion Soup was a hit all of us loved it!  The mustard for the sandwich was wonderful and I even had half of David's burger (those of you who do not know David need to understand that this man really only eats one time per day and it is exactly at 2:00 PM, I think this is his hangover prevention diet) and it was tasty as well.  With the food out of the way next comes the beer and today we had pitcher of the Pub Pils, a solid favorite and The Inversion Ale.  The Inversion Ale is my favorite of the night with a deep dark filling taste with a wonderful smoke flavor made from home smoked malt barley.  This is a heavenly beer.  Pitchers also make this pub great but I recommend you going with a student BECAUSE each student receives 2 pitchers priced at $6.00 each with their student ID,  This is great for me because Jon and Gina are in school and that made for a very economical night of wonderful beer, food and company.  I give Desert Edge Brewery a 3 stein out of 5 stein review.  The beer was great, the service and food were good, but the atmosphere does not provide the other pub enjoyments that I love.  This is a great first stop pub for dinner if you are planning a long night out otherwise I recommend this pub for exactly the way we used it, a nice place to have dinner and beers with good friends.  Next stop week 13 which is actually going to be picked by.........GINA!!!!!
