Hi Ben –

We had the most spectacular time last night. Dining at your family’s establishment has always been a truly excellent experience, but last night your beverage creations sent our experience over the top !

First, your presentation of the beer samples was fun – so clever and unique. We sampled them accordingly – starting with your WIT, which Steve tasted a hint of lemon after swallowing, and I tasted a floral flavor. It was very refreshing. We then proceeded to your Amber Lager, which Steve said tasted like a Yuengling Lager (his beer of choice). I had all kinds of different flavors popping in my mouth, but couldn’t put my finger on what they were. It was very enjoyable and tasty. Next and last was your Hopenstine, which Steve really loved. We both tasted grapefruit and it was very delicious. The beers worked really well with the Crabby Pretzel, which was fantastic.

Steve had the 24 oz. Cajun NY Strip Steak with mushrooms and paired it with your Hopenstine. He absolutely loved the Cajun steak/mushrooms/Hopenstine combination. I chose the grilled Salmon with papaya salsa and paired it with your WIT. My mouth was singing with joy.

I think what was really interesting was the wonderful scent of your beers. They were fragrant to the nose, as well as the mouth. I’ve never smelled my glass of beer before, but now you’ve introduced us to a whole new way of enjoying a “cold brew.”

Thanks also to your dad, Julia and Maria. Your dad took the time to explain different things to us about your brews and the dinner specials, which was very helpful and informative. The dinners he prepared for us were, as always, PERFECT ! He is, in our opinion, the finest and most creative chef in NEPA. Julia and Maria are precious – always happy, friendly and true professionals, they are a delight to deal with. We had such a good time.

Thank you Ben – we wish you luck, success and good fortune with your endeavor.

Sincerely,

Cindy and Steve
