mothra says....good food, good beer.. a couple of weeks backs after a rather long trip west on 84, k and i pulled into hood river for a lunch and a rest. although almost back home to portland, there is always an excuse to stop at full sail pub & brewery for lunch.
we took the brew tour for the first time and i want you to know, that there is a full sail pint glass awaiting you at the end of the tour. it's a good tour and i recommend it….. but, i know what you are thinking… that a pound of hops looks just like a pound of….. well you know; i've driven past humboldt county.there was a 40 minute wait for a table and after the 35 min tour; we were seated outside on a blustery cool but sunny day. there is only about a dozen tables outside and they are in demand, so be prepared. our server was pleasant and quick as she had probably 6-8 tables and did not want to pfoot around. i am ok with that. k ordered a sav blanc and i had a full sail pale ale on tap. wow. really good on tap and where it was born. what would homer and mo say? they would never leave.
after ordering a hummus plate, just really light and fresh and enough to get us to our entrees which arrived about 25 minutes later, k's fish sandwich with fresh cole slaw arrived. it was hot to the touch. me, i ordered the fish and chips, which came with piping hot fries and a salad. the wait was worth it. i ordered another beer and while we ate lunch, a number of entrees at adjacent tables walked by and looked delicious: the reuben (as you know, one of my favs but i just have to move on), and the pulled pork sandwich which looked de-lish.we sat and sipped for a while after lunch with coffee and watched the river go by.
on our way out, we purchased two 12 packs of "session" beer for home. mmmmmm. you can buy it at little freddies if you are lucky, but best if you pick it up at the mother ship. why not?...a staple when in hood river. mothra says… 3.4 of 5.0
