Philadelphia Story — Addendum

July 3, 2007 at 1.38 pm

So, there are a couple of things I missed out.

Firstly, the photos are now online.

As is a little video. Nothing exciting:

Lastly, I’ve found a slip of paper that served as the menu at Nodding Head. Here’s what they had:

  • BPA
    Bill Payer Ale…hoppy pale ale…separated from many of its counterparts by a solid malt backbone.
  • Gordo’s Oatmeal Stout
    Classic oatmeal stout…medium bodied and pleasantly roasty…hints of caramel and toffee in the finish.
  • All Night Ale
    British-style dark mild…brown in colour with plenty of flavor (sic) and significant body…blended with espresso from our good friends at Café Loftus (which kind of makes it not "British-style" at all — Ed)
  • Monkey Knife Fight
    Asian influenced blonde lager…light bodied infused with the flavors of ginger and lemongrass…everbody loves a monkey (true).
  • Prudence Pale Ale
    Everything you would expect from a pale ale…amber in color with a medium body and lots of hop flavor and aroma…all at a mere 3.75% ABV.
  • 60 Shilling
    Lighter Scottish-style ale…amber and malty…reminds us all that sometimes there just aren’t enough O’s in smooth.

I had the stout and the All Night Ale, which were both pretty good. I’m very glad to know that I’m not the only person to use the word ‘roasty’.

Oh, and there’s some small print at the bottom of the menu:

Nodding Head has made a commitment to serving the highest quality ales and lagers. If you are not pleased with one of our beers, it is not because it is poorly brewed, but more accurately, not to your taste. We do not offer refunds for our beer. If you are uncertain about a beer, please feel free to ask your server for a sample.

Not very friendly, is it? I suspect it’s more to deal with the Budweiser drinkers who head in there, ask for a pint of mild, and complain that it tastes horrible. Or rather, that it just tastes.
