Friday Night at Gordon Biersch
Friday night we went with Dan, Bobby, and Kara to Gordon Biersch down in Buckhead. Gordon Biersch is a brewpub / restaurant chain that has a few locations in the Atlanta area. I had been wanting to try it out for quite some time but my fear of lagers has kept me away. Well I was wrong. I should have gone there years ago.
I am a big ale person and love my dark, bold, thick beers. Since most of the American popular beers are lagers, I have built up a large amount of hate for this type of beer. I should have opened up sooner. These beers at Gordon Biersch were quite good! They are not as heavy or as bold as the stouts that I typically like, but they were still quite tasty smooth and flavorfull. I am a fan and will be sure to give more lagers a shot when out drinking at Taco Mac or similar bars. I will certainly look for ales first, but I will not turn my head to the lagers anymore. Well most of them that is. I still dont care for the typical American Lager, but the darker more complex styles were good.
The food there was also very good. We had some hiccups with our order but they were polite and very quick to resolve them with no questions asked. The management staff came by to make sure all was corrected as well which was nice. Without a doubt, I would return to Gordon Biersch. I really enjoyed it!
I would certainly recommend you give them a shot! We loved it!
