  OK, so who said the Americans couldn't brew beer ? This place is a real gold mine and serves superb quality, German style beers. They have Blonde Bock, Märzen, Pilsner, Dunkles, Golden Export and a range of seasonal beers, all brewed locally at the brewery here in San Jose. Gordon Biersch has around 17 similar outlets in the US, but the brewery is the place to be. My personal favourite and indeed their most popular beer is Märzen, but you can sample all of their beers if you like and without feeling the effects ! They will serve a sample of all of their beers in smaller glasses for a small fee and then you can choose which one to take in a larger glass. The restaurant here is first rate and you can even sit outside during the day, but make sure that you get a table that will remain well and truly in the shade for the duration of your meal, as the Californian sunshine will give you sunstroke pretty quickly if you are not careful. For anyone who can't get to an outlet, then Gordon Biersch products are widely stocked throughout the US in supermarkets. I have never seen them on sale outside the US, but I could be wrong. This is also a decent sports bar and they have a number of screens at the bar if American sports is what you want to see. Don't expect to watch a European soccer match here though ! Gordon Biersch is a small, family owned business, that has only been around since 1988 and what progress they have made in that short period. Take a look at their excellent web site for more information about their beers and the brewing process. You have to taste this stuff.... you won't regret it !
