LINCOLNSHIRE, ILLINOIS
Opened 1995, Lincolnshire-based freestanding sportsbar-family restaurant,
FLATLANDER’S BREWING, is situated in a modern red brick mini-mall visited August ‘06.
Pristine outdoor deck welcomes patrons to enormous dining space leading into large bar equipped with pool table, brew tanks, small stage, and framed pix of ‘60s cultural icons. Colossal fireplace gives warmth to back dining section and pub fare included salad, ribs, fish, chicken, and crab cakes.
Light amber-grained dry-hopped grape-fig-soured
Lincolnshire Lager, styptic Scotch-like caramel-dipped
Harvest Amber Ale, hop-prickled lemon-peeled orange-bruised banana-clove-scurried
Hefeweizen and mildly medicinal grass-hopped lemon-dropped orange-peeled coriander-teased
Belgian Wit suit softer palates.
Heartier thirsts will lean towards mildly creamy coffee bean-fronted espresso-backed grape-soured walnut-charred tar-embittered
Locomotive Stout and stubbornly red-fruited herbal-spiced dry-hopped
Abe’s Honest Ale.
