Description

Social Kitchen has revolutionary aims. Not only is it determined to make the food beer-focused, and highlight sustainable and local ingredients, it hopes to attract women and vegetarians, who are often put off by traditional brewpubs. Talented brewmaster Rich Higgins likes to tweak expectations with his beers - brewing low-alcohol, food-friendly styles like his kölsch, which drinks like the cava of beers, as well as a peppery, none-too-sweet Belgian golden ale (l'Enfant Terrible), or Duvel dressed up for the Folsom Street Fair. Much of the food falls short of the beer, however. Reliable dishes include the tempura sweet-potato fries, the loco moco burger, and the duck breast with blackberries and a beer-reduction sauce.
