So work dropped me in Atlanta last week. Hit up The Porter based on a Beer Advocate recommendation and it didn't disappoint. Outside a bunch of old picnic tables had a good crowd and inside it just looked like a long narrow hallway with a bar. I found a much larger seating area in the back once I hit the restroom. Needless to say their beer list was extensive and very well organized.
Beer #1 - Mikkeller Cascade Single Hop IPA. I'm a huge Mikkeller fan. I haven't had a bad beer from these guys. This one rated a 94 on Rate Beer and I'd say that may be a bit low. All around very balanced with a smack of in your face hops. I did notice they do single hop IPA's. This seems to be a new trend. Brewdog did the same thing. brewed 4 beers. Same recipe. Just changed out the hops. Gives you an idea what the hop flavor profile contributes to the overall beer.
Beer # 2 - The Espresso Oak Aged Yetti by Great
Divide Brewing Company. This was extreme. Huge
coffee flavor. Well balanced. Good aroma. I would definitely drink this again. Amazing on tap. I do worry that out of the bottle wouldn't be as good. Plus the pint was $5 and th
e bottle goes for at least $10. At this point I figured I should eat. The Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich looked good. It was cheap. I figured it would be a good snack. 1. It was amazing. 2. It was huge. Served with cheese and bacon on a pretzel roll. So good.
