Restaurant Insider with Anne Lee

BBQBaconCheeseburger($17):withched- dar cheese, bacon, a Sysco onion ring, and our housemade mango bourbon barbecue sauce on a toasted Sysco brioche bun. Beer pairing: Craft Light Lager (a light beer that doesn’t compete with the flavor of the burger).
Veggie Pizza ($14): vegan if you omit cheese. Housemade pizza sauce with shredded moz- zarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, fried garlic, and fresh basil. (Substitute for Sysco cauli- flower crust, gluten-free for $5). Beer pairing: Hana Hou Hefe (it has a fruit profile, brighter beer that accents roasted vegetable flavors).
St. Louis Style Ribs ($24): All components for the sides come from Sysco.These are dry- rubbed, kiawe wood-smoked St. Louis-style ribs served with housemade smoked beans, potato-mac salad, sticky rice, cornbread and your choice of housemade barbecue sauce. Beer pairing: Eeepah IPA (this beer cuts through the smoke and cleanses your palate).
Beers are $7. During happy hour they are $5; 2-5 p.m. and 8 p.m.-closing daily.
AL: What are future plans for the restaurant?
NS: I like to keep things changing with run-
ning specials. Every Monday, we feature Burnt Ends, almost like a candied brisket, smoked roasted beef with a sweet barbecue sauce, double-smoked. I want to continue to create new dishes that speak to where we live.
AL: Anything else you’d like to share?
NS: We have nine core beers we feature year- round, and we have different styles in smaller batches that we feature monthly to give our guests different tastes and try out new recipes.
AL: What are some fun facts?
AF: We have this huge mural on the wall, grain to glass.We sat with an artist and went through our ingredients, our tanks, our purveyors and ingredients.Youcanseeitcometolife,high- lighting the process and our local partners. At the very end of this mural, you will see the original piece of equipment that the beer was brewed on.

AL: Tell me more about some popular items and selected craft beer pairings.
NS: Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich ($19): kiawe wood-smoked prime rib with melted Swiss cheese and horseradish cream sauce on a toasted Amoroso hoagie roll and au jus. Beer pairing: 808 Pale Ale (the pale ale plays well with that smokey flavor).
Everything pretty much in the Superfood Salad ($15) is from Sysco: arugula, kale, red quinoa, celery, carrot, pickled onion, candied macadamia nuts and furikake chickpeas tossed in our housemade lemon vinaigrette (add chicken breast for $6 or coconut fried shrimp for $8). Beer pairing: Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale (the salad is complex; this doesn’t muddy up the flavors and it’s light and clean).
