San Diego ReaderSan Diego Reader: Stout's newest drink, the Brasser (named after the somewhat demure Irish term for a lady of the night), made its debut on St. Patrick's Day. The recipe is in this week's Reader. Read more.

James D.James Dimock: Hoped for more Stout's. All they have is Guinness (in a normal tap) and Smithwick's. Went with Smithwick's which was okay, since you need the special Guinness taps for it to be any good.

Tim E.Tim Erdmann: The rueben, mac & cheese, sliders, and Irish breakfast are bomb. Hockey rules here.
