Eagle Rock Solidarity starts the party at Surly Goat happy hour

My coworker Tiffany and I started doing the Surly Goat Happy Hour every Friday after work and it's been a boon. They have four or so beers for $4 dollars till 8pm and a host of other unique beers for under $8. Their bartenders are both cool and knowledgeable. For a beer geek, the place is an oasis. More to the point, they also have Foosball. Today's beer was from the local Eagle Rock brewery:
The Solidarity is a black mild ale and pours a great head. She has nice toated malts with a hint of cocoa that goes down light and makes for a good happy hour starter. I could drink a couple of these but I instead branched out for a Firestone Pale Ale (nice hops) followed by the ever gracious, Pliny the Elder. Plus bartendress Amy encouraged me to sample a few beers. Can't beat that night.  Next stop is Korean BBQ and some Hite! TRANSFORMERS rating.
