News from The General (Sutter)

From the General Sutter's newletter:

The front of the pub is finished and we are ecstatic at the end result. Thanks to the Historic committee and zoning on giving us the go ahead, Venture Lititz for helping with the facade grant and Two Dudes for doing a great job. We wanted it to look like a traditional British Victorian pub and the paint used in the UK has a very high gloss. Two Dudes managed to source an ultra high gloss paint and I am sure you will agree it looks fantastic. The next step is to get some hanging baskets as anyone who has been to London in the summer will attest to the fantastic display of flowers that the pubs have. The response to the pub has been fantastic. Many of the local residents have thanked us for opening as they were in dire need of a place that they wanted to hang out. As promised we are rotating our beer selection and have had a variety on offer since opening. One of the favourites has been the Young's Double Chocolate Stout. If you haven't tried it, you must. A dedicated Bacardi and coke drinker who didn't like beer has been converted and now drinks this instead. We also have traditional British food alongside some more traditional American standards. We just got British style sausages, so try the Bangers and Mash. We also make Scotch Eggs and Sausage Rolls. HP Sauce is available which is a great condiment for the above. HP Salad Cream, which chef Marco Pierre White claimed as being "One of the greatest culinary inventions", is available for a variety of uses including a salad dressing of course. Branston Pickle goes great with the pork pies. A must have is the Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Cask night is April 30th. I plan to stop in and sample some great brews from the casks.
