This is the best way that I can sum up the Broker.

it sounds like the "broker" was a good time all around. was it the mouse that will prevent you from going back?

Beer is okay-ee
Overall atmosphere: decent- it's nice enough and easy-going

I had the jalapeno burger. The flavor of the burger was good, nice and smokey. The fried jalapenos added a nice touch. Shoestring fries were also rather delightful.

I will, go...back.

Nice, glad I picked the right thing!

Why yes, yes I have. I believe there's my review floating around in here somewhere..

This is as good a place as any to put this:

So I was at Hodson’s. The food was quite good. I believe I had the sliders and something else…but that’s beside the point. Moving on…

After eyeing their limited selection of draft beers, I opted for the Lefthand Sawtooth. For no other reason than most people don’t have it, and it had been quite some time since I’d had one- so I proceeded to order one. Let me say this though: I’ve never had it on draught (pronounced: ‘draft’). I clearly said “Lefthand Sawtooth” and there were no other options that could have been confused with that.

Anywho…the drink arrived and it was settling like a Guinness. I was like, wtf? Upon tasting it, it was reminiscent of what I remember Sawtooth tasting like. Amber/woody, light brown in color. But…it was much less carbonated and finished smooth, NOT all bitter like it normally does. In the name of science, I quickly downed it and ordered another (again, purely for experimentation purposes). I said, “I’ll have another Sawtooth please”. The beer came back again, same story… looked like a light brown Guinness, tasted like Sawtooth- but without all of its failing attributes.

The next weekend, I pick up a 6’er of Sawtooth. Get home and pour it in a glass, eagerly expecting the same experience. Buuuuttt…no-h. It poured like normal, was overly carbonated, was bitter and overly woody. I dumped it out, Fack.

Riddle me this, what in the world did I drink? I’m ‘this’ close to going back to Hodson’s…

Milk stout nitro maybe?

Thanks for the input. But I'm quite certain that wasn't it. Iirc, milk stouts are dark and sweet. .not to be confused with a light brown and slightly bitter(?)

CO Native is pretty similar in taste and smoother

Hmmm....but does it settle like a Guinness? I have never seen that before... you know, the 'avalanche effect' where it curdles.

_AlexTM · Postby **_AlexTM** » Tue May 21, 2013 9:14

I dont think so. i have no clue

It was probably on a nitro tap, instead of CO2. http://www.craftbeer.com/craft-beer-muses/good-beer-gas-nitro-beers-explained

It's pretty amazing how the nitro transforms beer into a velvety carpet of delicious liquid.

_AlexTM · Postby **_AlexTM** » Thu May 23, 2013 9:14

That was my guess, but i didnt think they did that with Sawtooth. Who knows.

Very interesting, I wasn't aware of this. I think I need to go back and inquire further
