Side Note
As you all well know we like to drink...here at L-NRD we believe in alcohol and water. If its in there we'll drink it.
Many years ago my great friend Rich (also the biggest contributer to this blog) introduced me to a beer made from the same stuff the black noodle, aka soba is derived from...Buckwheat. He found this concoction at a Noodle shop called SobaYa located in Manhattan, NY.
Feeling like Rich hyped up this beer wayyy too much i decided that i needed to find out on my own how good this beer really is. I must warn you, it is not for everyone. I like to believe it wasn't because of the miles of walking in NY, the panging hunger pains, or the record breaking 26.9" snowfall (night of feb 12, 2006) that made the beer taste sooo good. I have since then searched high and low from my desk at work to find this beer.
All i can say is Rich has come through after numerous calls and emails to both Rogue Ales (the mfg. of this beer) and the actual restaurant itself, even with calls by yours truly, to find this magic elixir.
RICH IS DA MAN!!!!! stay tuned for a pic of the bottle from SobaYa

man. i picked up a bottle over the weekend. and i just dont remember how it was in nyc. i mean it was good real good but from what i remember it was hella real good over soba noodles and tempura. haha
i will say this though, it was crisp, and a slight sweetness to it.
i will try again with salty foods.
