Unfortunately, our visit to the Grand Canyon ended today and we drove back to Phoenix. That said, we did find good beer at both lunch and dinner.
We stopped at Leff-T's Steakhouse & Grill in Dewey, AZ. Along with some amazing, home cooked desserts, Leff-T's had a decent beer list, including Stone Ruination IPA, which most of the beer drinkers had since it's a grade thirst quencher.
For dinner, a lot of us went to a hotel stake house that was very disappointing (and shall remain nameless), so Marlowe and Meagan broke ranks and went looking for good beer and food. We discovered that the best vegetarian food in AZ is found at the places that really appreciate beer. We'd discovered this with Raven Cafe and Papago Brewing and it was reinforced when we tried both an Indian and sushi place without success and ended up at the Yard House Tap Room.
We discovered that at non-beer friendly places vegetarians can either get (1) the spinach salad, hold the meet; (2) an avocado based sandwich (names may vary), or (3) Mediterranean pizza. While an occasional meal of these is OK, it gets old very fast. Thankfully, we found the Yard House.
While not a brewery, Yard House has an amazing beer selection and some really excellent food, including numerous vegetarian options. Unfortunately, we were so tired by this point that we each only had one beer. They were both beers we've enjoyed before, but never had on tap.
Marlowe had North Coast Brewing's Pranqster Belgian Style Golden Ale
Meagan had Breckenridge Brewery's Vanilla Porter
All-in-all, a very delicious way to end a loooong day.
