Beer 237 - City Steam Brewery Cafe Blonde on Blonde (3.5 stars out of 5)

Brewed at the City Steam Brewery Café, a 15 barrel brew-house in an historic Romanesque building downtown Hartford, CT that was once a department store.  The name comes partly from the Hartford Steam Company which supplies steam heating and chilled water to heat and cool many downtown buildings.  The brewery-café is next door to the Residence Inn, which occupies the rest of the historic building.
The web site is: http://www.citysteambrewerycafe.com/history.html
The web site says; “A very serious PALE ALE. German bittering hops couple with West Coast Amarrillo
hops to create an intensely bitter mouth feel and warm citrus aroma. 15Plato (approx 6% alc/vol)”

I enjoyed the beer and the Figgy Piggy (pork tenderloin marinated in cider brine, with a fig port wine rosemary sauce). The beer complimented the food and washed it down well.
