We have two styles of Root Beer now on Draft...
From Abita (new orleans), a very smooth creamy brew...
"Abita brews its root beer with spring water, herbs, vanilla and yucca (which creates foam). Unlike most soft drink manufacturers, Abita sweetens its root beer with the pure Louisiana cane sugar. The resulting taste is reminiscent of soft drinks made in the 1940's and 1950's before bottlers turned to corn sugar and fructose. Like earlier root beers, Abita is also caffeine-free."
From Victory (philly), a root beer that is less coy and with more of bite.

Dog Fish Head Chicory stout once made year round has become one of their seasonal brews and that season has come and gone and well, their isn't any more of it to be had.
That means either the beershake itself must become seasonal or we need to find a replacement.. We have hear good things about Choc. Stouts and one called the Edmund Fitzgerald (named after the ill-fated ship detailed in the Gordon Lightfoot song, "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald." The captain on that final voyage interesting was named McSorley.)
Six Point Brewery in Red Hook has a good strong dark stout we have tested before but it doesn't come in bottles and we don't sell enough beer shakes to give up a tap line...
Thoughts and recommendations are welcome.

Out
Slaw
Corn
Trout
In
Garlic Mashed
Fried Sweet Potatoes
Meat loaf
We still have plenty of beer milkshakes, fries, and other yummies..

Our most recent “special” is braised lamb shank w/ garlic mashed potatoes, spicy warm kraut, onion and cabbage, and a light sauce made from a reduction of the braising liquid.
We braise pork ribs with RC Cola, Beef Ribs with Dark Amber Beer, what do we braise lamb shanks with? Apple Cider! You can taste it when you eat the bits of cabbage that braised w/ the shank.
The shanks are .75 to 1 lbs. All that sells for $9.10 or with two shanks for $15.35. Either way a good deal!
Nearly naked food: Salt, Pepper, Lamb Shank, Cabbage, Onion, Shallots and that’s it!. The sauce is mounted w/ our famous Schnack Sauce; not so naked!

Some thoughts about Schnack and our new menu.. from "A Brooklyn Life." Click Here
"Schnack on Union Street raised its prices. The new menu focuses more on burgers and dogs (now the black Angus beef dog from Stahl-Meyer), ... Personally, when I crave Schnack, it's the burgers I'm after."
