Whew! It’s finally Friday! It’s been one of those weeks where I really need a drink. I’m looking forward to relaxation and a little beer drinking this weekend. I hope you have a great weekend…

If you had a week like me, or you just love a good beer, you might want to try out Beer Table. I read about it a few months ago in the Times and was intrigued. With a lack of plans last weekend, we decided that it was time to visit. In a slight run of bad luck, we didn’t check their hours and got there two and half hours before they opened, which is usually 5pm. We wasted lots of time putzing around and drinking beer and coffee at other places. Then 5 rolled around and we went back the place was full of people. It turns out they opened early that day at 3. Bummer for us.

But we rolled with the punches and decided to try out a German beer that the owner was rather proud of. Apparently it was an unusual brew and the Beer Table had one of the only kegs in US. It was a nice, rich and very strong brew. The draft beer menu along with an offering of 3 cheeses and 3 meats changes daily and is written on a big roll of paper above the counter. It definitely feels like every detail was considered.

We’ll certainly be stopping by again. I’m just hoping they rethink their hours.
