Well of course Guinness needs no introduction as it is probably one of the most recognizable beers in the world. When you have been making beer for over 200 years you certainly know how to do it well. But in case you haven't taken the leap of faith and tried a Guinness it is about time that you give it a taste. As my sister stated today "That's pretty good for a beer of that color".
I enjoyed my Guinness at one of my favorite watering holes, Plainfield Station. Plainfield Station is an old gas station on Road 98 between Davis, Woodland and Winters, Ca. It is a place were a group of hunters in their orange hats can sit next to two nurses in scrubs who are sitting next a pair of burly looking bikers in black leather. At the table across the room a young couple (with their newborn asleep in the car seat on top of the table) dined on half pound burgers while I along with 7 other family members enjoyed a large plate of nachos. This hole in the wall bar has a substantial selection of beers on tap which ranges from Pabst to Guinness and from Widmer Heff to Boont Amber Ale. And of course they have all the old standby beers like Coors and the line of Buds.
Plainfield has a very large back yard with picnic tables, a horseshoe pit and a stage for small concerts. The food is great and the menu boasts everything from jalapeno poppers to
teriyaki chicken sandwiches but for my money the Tacos are the best around. If you are ever in the area you must stop in a grab your favorite libation and game of pool. Everyone is welcome and the staff (at least these days) is very helpful and friendly. The beer is always cold and the people watching is second to none.
