Review – Bierkraft

As half of the name suggests, this place is all about beer. Despite its name, it’s not just German beer but an international place of happy drinks. One part of the locale is a store where you can peruse a wall of beers you can take home, and the other half is an indoor-style beer garden (very small), with long wooden tables and benches providing an excellent atmosphere for chilling with friends while enjoying not only a cool glass of beer but also delicious sandwiches or smorgasbords of meats and cheeses.
We shared a jug of dark beer with a couple of friends and my husband and I chowed down on their Italian sandwich (ham, sopressata, prosciutto, pecorino, arugula, tomato, onion, roasted peppers, oil and vinegar) and our friends shared the Serrano sandwich (Serrano ham, manchego cheese, fig spread, arugula, oil and vinegar). They were delicious and definitely big enough to share. Besides ordering their signature sandwiches, you can also create your own, kind of like Subway but on a more gourmet level. Their sandwiches cost about $10 so it’s not too much more than Subway anyways.
The rest of the crew indulged in a second jug of beer which I had to skip because the sandwich had done a number on me.
I think on Tuesdays they also have beer tastings in the evenings which we have yet to check out. Seems to be a popular spot though so I’m sure the tastings are crowded too. If you go, be prepared to share your table and bench with locals and don’t be shy, make new friends.
