A wooden bowl lined with pink parchment paper, a pink-tinted dipping sauce that means business, an outdoor patio, and an Allagash beer (a Maine brewery, several states from where I was actually sitting, but that’s craft beer distribution for you). This is one of the more visually distinctive presentations in the whole archive and I still can’t tell you what the place was called.
If you’re in the area anyway: the Corning Preserve along the Albany riverfront is a nice patio-adjacent walk, or there’s always Crossgates Mall if the weather turns.
Update: Probably Wolff’s Biergarten
Best guess is Wolff’s Biergarten, 895 Broadway, Albany — a few blocks from Corning Preserve, with a real patio and Belgian/German beer focus (explains the Allagash). Not certain — the exact wooden-bowl-and-pink-parchment presentation couldn’t be confirmed against current menus, so treat this as a leading theory, not a fact.
