Flossmore, Galway Tribes, and a good beer week.

This week I had a chance to travel a bit and try some new beers. I started out at The Lodge as I normally do, I had Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence. This was a very good beer. Deep rich dark chocolate and beer.. what else could one ask for? The wife got her holiday bonus so we thought what the heck lets go some place new. We are dog and cat sitting this weekend and since they live on the south side we though we would got to Flossmore Station Brewery. This place is great. The atmosphere is fun and inviting close but not crowded. The food was great!! They had a beer cheese soup made with their Station Master Wheat Ale. This soup was just great. I had the Rib Eye and Gorgonzola sandwich. It is served on toasted garlic chibatta bread. The whole thing was just so tender and juicy and full of flavor.

After this we headed over to Galway Tribes in Frankfort, IL This place is an outstanding beer bar with great food and a wonderful staff. It is my south side Lodge. Same idea with lots of good beer and food. You walk into this place and they make you feel like family. The Welcome is warm and authentic. You feel as if have always been there even if it is your first time. Niall (Nile) Is the Owner and a bartender there. This man know his beer and know how to share about the beer. Friendly open and full of energy. I think the staff gets it from him. They too are very nice and very happy to help find the right food and the right beer for just about any person. You won't leave this place hungry thirsty or unsatisfied for sure! As side note they will be on Check Please. a local restaurant review show.
