Notes & Observations from MeteVeza’s Beerunch (Part of SF Beerweek 2010):

• I’m a fan of their Yerba Mate IPA.  Nice IPA with a delicate hand for a clean herbal finish.  Combined with the new attractive packaging, it’s a nice local spiced beer for the hop lover.
• The perfect weather continues to hold out.
• As Jeremy of Shmaltz pointed out: great biscotti, paired with Moonlight’s Burnt Toast and Magnolia’s Smokestack Lightning.
• Another topic of discussion that broke out at the table: pairing beers with vegetable-driven dishes.  Discuss.
• Fried crunchy things are always delicious.
• The add the correct amount of capers to smoked salmon, cover the salmon in capers till you can barely see it’s pink flesh.  Bravo on getting it right.   Also the Dogfish Pangea pairing was a natural choice.
• I’m seeing a lot of beer industry people at lots of events – not because they’re involved, but because they want to be there.  That’s the kind of attitude that makes this week such a pleasure.
