Breakside + Toro Bravo =

Maybe it is because I will be going up to Portland soon, or that Breakside won gold in the IPA category at the Great American Beer Festival but I really want to try this beer.

Oh right, that’s why this made my mouth water, Toro Bravo.  Potatoes Bravo and their Melon Salad are awesome.  I am a big fan of restaurant and brewer collaborations.  I think it kicks more ideas loose because there is a shared vocabulary but still there are major differences between chef and brewer.
