Fermentation Fervor 54

A few days ago I linked to this article about Bar Tartine because I thought the house fermented aspects of the menu would appeal to the kraut lovers in the room. And the fact they’re having a beer made for them by Linden Street. And they feature sour beers. Some of us here like beer. ...
