The Fullerton Haf Brau

Located on State College Parkway, just south of Chapman, this is a fine restuarant for good family style eating. BUT THE BIG PLUS is that they brew their own beers!

I stopped in for lunch and found the place quiet at 1:00, apparently the real business is dinner. The cabbage rolls were excellent, just like you expect your grandmother to make them. A lightly seasoned meat and rice, wrapped in well cook cabbage and covered with with a mild saurkraut. Add to this cook and crisp mixed vegetables and seasoned rice and you have a meal worth a beer, for 6.95.

Now the beer is worth it alone. 6 brews you can try as samplers. The Pilsner and Larger were nothing to write about, but the Wiesen "wheat" beer, with a lemon twist, sends Corona back south of the border. I soaked up the "Earl's Ale", a full bodied, smooth and gentle brew, lightly sweet and bitter, just perfect for a dark beer lover. Finally, the Boch beer was rich and creamy. A beer for when you want to drink your meal, this could be considered a good chaser for Guiness.

My courteous and lovable waitress, Ann, kept the mood light and even facilitated with my connecting a laptop to the payphone. Like few other sites, their phones have a pair of grounded plugs beneath them. (Though this message is being sent from L.A.)

Enjoy the meal!
