• Shire Ale House

    July 11, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

    While the rain thankfully stopped, the humidity in the air was quite unbeatable.
    We decided to duck into Shire Ale House and partake in a refreshing cold pint.
    Patrick, the bartender, who wound up being the owner, poured Laurie a Stella, and I decided to try a Porter (not my usual choice by far).
    We got into talking, and it turned out that he is from PA, around Pittsburgh...
    We smoothly switched to his newest concoction - mead with ginger beer (checkmark 2 for not one of my faves).
    Then he told us about his dinner menu, where he orders a cut of beef for you..
    So we settled on 4:00 pm. dinner, went out to check a couple of other stores, came back, and had a wonderful Cicken kebobs appetizer with a 90oz. Porterhouse for main course.
    As per Patrick's suggestion, it was prepared Medium-rare (that would complete the tri-fecta of "these are the few of my not so favorite things").
    I have to say that this was one of the BEST MEALS I've ever had 👍
