Dave and I went to the Church Brew Works for dinner last night with some of his summer workshop attendees. The alter area was filled with stainless steel brewing equipment, and the congregation area had a bar along the left wall and lots of tables throughout. They used old wooden pews for seating at the booths, and there is a "beer garden" in the churchyard. Otherwise the place looks like a place of worship. There are a few pictures on their web site.
The food was pretty good. We had the spinach artichoke appetizer, which had feta and gouda melted in to give it a nice tangy flavor, but it was a bit too cheesy, and the pita dipping bread was buttered and seasoned, yummy! Dave really liked his bison meatloaf. My chicken pot pie was OK, but I wished I'd tried a steak instead. We had a side of the sweet potato fries (which seem to be in every restaurant in Pittsburgh) and those were done perfectly. I also had a glass of the Pious Monk Dunkel which was pretty good. Portions were generous and prices were fair. We're definitely going there again.

Sweet potato fries everywhere?? I'm goin', that's all there is to it, I'm f'in goin'. They're not as omnipresent out here. Reminds me of the scene at work when an Indian woman pointed to the sweet potato fries in the cafeteria and said they were "Salt Crud". Huh? She read "sauerkraut" on a list of ingredients for a reuben and didn't know what it was... and didn't know what sweet potato fries were either. So she made her own connection...and pronunciation. Hahhaha.
