Bullfrog Brewery-Williamsport, PA

Let me start by saying that I love brewpubs.  Brewpubs are awesome, the beer is incredible, the food is incredible.  Even if you don't drink, you should try a brewpub for the food.  Every one I have been to has been excellent, and they all have been different.  The Bullfrog Brewpub in Williamsport was no exception.  They have a great collection of beers and some excellent food.  Most of the meat comes from a sustainable co-op in Troy, PA, and they source everything as locally as possible.  

There were many choices to be made with the Reuben at the Bullfrog, turkey, pastrami or tempeh (a variety of that which is not meat)  There was also a choice between coleslaw and sauerkraut.  I went the traditional route with pastrami and sauerkraut.  My side of choice was garlic fries.  

I was rather surprised to see the dressing on the side and once again a marble rye.  The contents of the sandwich were a bit wet which caused the bread to start to get soggy but on the whole it was well grilled and crisp.

The pastrami on it was incredible.  It had a great flavor.  It tasted like meat should taste.  It was salty, peppered, and mildly smokey.  If the pastrami was great, the sauerkraut really raised the bar.  It was a peppered kraut rich in flavor and texture.  It blended well with everything else and added a sharpness which I didn't realize I wanted until I had it.  

The sandwich came together and was one of the best ones that I have had.

Rating 4.5 of 5.
