A fine dining experience with good beverages
Before I went to the concert with my brother and cousin, we visited nearby St. Charles, Missouri, and located the Trailhead Brewing Company. We dined there, and sampled their beers.
I ate a bit too much, but avoided overstuffing myself. The food was very respectable. I had a petite prime rib, fries, Caesar Salad, and French Onion Soup.
While my cousin contented himself with a mere pint of Blonde Ale, my brother and I each ordered a beer sampler. We both agreed that while all the beers were good, we preferred the Blonde Ale and the Missouri Brown Dark Ale. I ventured the opinion that the lightness of the Blonde Ale would make it a wonderful beer on a hot summer day, while the Dark Ale would be a great wintertime brew. This beer tasted for all the world like a porter to me, which is probably why I loved it so.
If you’re ever in the area, I recommend a visit. I picked up a pint glass and a tasting glass with the Trailhead logo on them as souvenirs (and to stock my home bar with, whenever I get around to getting one).
