Eating Out (Day 2) Beef Microbrews and More!

The Internet is slow so I did tonight's posting from my cell phone. The new job is awesome, but it totally drains me by the end of the day (its not all fun and games working teaching little kids how to sail). With that said, I might be in the kitchen a little less and venturing out in the big scary world of other peoples food more. Tonight I jogged to the top of the hill in Sausalito/Cloudview (above the golden gate bridge from sea level; awesome view). When I finished I had a beef craving like nobodies business- but it was almost 8PM and Sausalito closes up fairly early. My grandpa, the local, recommended a place in town called Saylors (Sausalito is a boat town, I think the place might be called Saylors Landing but i didn't see that on the sign) which stays open late.
So off to Saylors I went. I sat by the bar because I was a party of one. There I got to ham it up momentarily with the owner Sean Saylor. All in all I was fairly impressed, the food was great, the owner was a cool guy, they have a happy hour AND THE CILANTRO-LIME SALAD DRESSING ON THEIR GREEN SALAD BETTER THAN MY HOUSE DRESSING! I definitely have to pick and pry his brain for the recipe some time this week when I go back there for happy hour.
And on that note, I am a big beer fan. I love fresh and local microbrewed beers. In Sacramento, I tend to buy Hefewizen that is made in Sactown, which is less than a week old by the time I get my hands on it. No matter what your beer preference is, fresh beer is always the best beer. With that said, I am now closer to Petaluma and instead of opting for Sacrament made Hefeweizen, I have tried the local favorite (and locally made) LAGUNITAS IPA. It is a fantastic beer. But their LAGUNITAS CENSORED COPPER ALE was worth writing about, and almost singlehandedly made me rethink Hefewizen as my favorite style of beer. I think I may just be partial to the orange wedge they serve with hef. Seriously worth a try!

Anyhoo. that's all folks. If you happen to be in town and want to try some reasonably priced Mexican food- Head down to Saylors. But if you are not in town but are able to get your hand on some (fresh) Lagunitas - DO TRY IT- I recommend the Censored Copper Ale (No copper in the bottle, lol)!
