Off to BG

We're headed to BG tomorrow afternoon. It'll be our first time in NW Ohio since August. And I can't wait.

The agenda includes a family football game, an early Thanksgiving dinner, and a trip to Polleyes for some breadsticks.

Did you know that you can order breadsticks unbaked, and take them to go? We did this over the summer. They turned out really good - with the smallest of dropoffs in taste due to the freezing and thawing. But really, they were fantastic.

Personally, I'm a chicken and cheese with ranch type of guy. I've also tried the pepperoni & cheese (does a number on my internal plumbing), pineapple and cheese (my brother's favorite), pineapple and tomato (just gross), and roast beef and cheese (I think this was Steve Jenkins' idea).

But I've never found the perfect beer to go with the chck/cheese combo. Any recommendations? I usually try to go with a somewhat light-in-color beer, like a Pilsner (Bud/Labbatt) or a pale ale (Sierra Nevada/Rolling Rock). Outside of Polleyes, I generally enjoy darker beers, but I don't think they would go well with such heavy food. Your thoughts?
