Beautiful everyone will. With
Father’s Day coming up. We
thought we would feature a place
Dad will love. This was
recommended by executive
producer J. And this place has
delicious food, A relaxed, kid
friendly atmosphere, which is
important selection of great
award winning beers. Michelle
Oliver is taking us to
Birmingham to dine at the
Griffin claw in her dining the D
segment. The award winning beer
may lure you in. You’ll stay for
the mouthwatering food here at
Griffin Club Brewing Company in
Birmingham. A lot of food items
are often inspired by beer, just
things that go well together. We
have a lot of heavy options like
sandwiches. If you need to soak
a little bit up, But then we
also have lighter options that
keep you refreshed on the
healthy side, and it all began
with this beer. There is a
restaurant called Big Chophouse
. They started burning beer. You
know the traffic here. We had it
at They served at the bar. In
the brewmaster at the time sent
away a couple of the beers to
contest to be judged and it was
the World Beer Cup and it
happened to win gold medal and
silver metal, so they decided to
open up a full scale brewery in
2013, 1st and foremost, I’d say
it’s always just super fun here
when they started graphing claw
they brought in all of these.
Picnic table because they wanted
it to be like a classic German
beer garden outside with the
venture out there we have fire
pits and all these trees and
vines and leaves and it’s just
very beautiful. Over the years,
they’ve expanded their beer
selection and have added spirits
as well. So we’ll actually go
through a new beer or two new
beers a week, sometimes in both
our tap rooms, so we end up with
, you know, like almost 100
beers, probably throughout the
year. Well this spread looks
fantastic. So let’s get into the
menu and we’re going to start
with one of the appetizers
there. Um it is a roasted red
pepper and black bean hummus
comes with garlic, bread,
cucumbers, celery and carrots.
Now for the salads, we have
their Brussels sprout salad. So
this starts with a bed of
arugula. Then they have flash
fried brussels sprouts and
chickpeas to really add a nice
bit of crunch to the dish. Top
it with crumbled blue cheese,
tart dried Cherries, and it’s
all tossed in a peach. Egret.
This next dishes when I like to
order when I come here it is
their Southwest salad. Do you
have a better Romain tortilla
chips, Gayo black beans, roasted
corn, half of an avocado cotija
cheese, and it’s all tossed in
an avocado line that regret
sticking with the Southwest
theme. We have their Puerto
Bello tacos. Now these
portobello are marinated and
then roasted, giving them lots
of nice texture. It’s also with
cabbage, PICO de Gallo avocados
, pickled red onion and jalapeno
cilantro sauce not named after
anything in particular, This is
their munch rap. Superb So you
have a flour tortilla shell, and
it’s stuffed with seasoned
ground beef tostada to add a
little bit of crunch lettuce,
tomato, nacho cheese, sour cream
, and it comes with chips and
queso. This next dish is simple
, but delicious. It’s not
Popeye’s chicken sandwich, so
you have a spicy Fried chicken
breast along with a C Secret
Holy with a bit of a kick to it.
Pickle chips on a brioche bun,
and you can get it with a side
of fries. If you’re feeling
hungry, check out this Bronco
burger. It is a half pound
burger gets topped with melted
cheddar cheese. Applewood smoked
bacon, onion rings, a cherry
barbecue sauce, of course,
lettuce, onion and tomato all on
a brioche bun. And it comes with
a side of fries. And finally,
for dessert. We have the s’mores
sandwich white bread stuffed
with marshmallow fluff.
Hershey’s chocolate has been
deep fried and covered in graham
cracker crumbs and search the
side of ice cream. Alright Well
, all of that looks amazing as
always. Thank you, Jade, our
executive producer for
suggesting this place and they
brought in a bunch of stuff, so
they first they brought in their
claw burger with a gluten free
bun. Michelle is always looking
out for me, and they also have a
vegetarian option as well with
an impossible burger Patties. So
if you’re into that, they’ve got
you covered. Now we’ve got the
four cheese grilled cheese. This
is our executive producer. Jay’s
favorite thing to get there, and
it’s like why it looks good.
Architectural in its scale.
Indeed indeed, and then here we
have the hummus platter it you

of hummus. It’s a twist on it.
It’s got black beans and roasted
peppers and, you know, so it’s
actually a little bit more
flavorful and special. I want to
