Meet the Mayor: The Publick House
Welcome to "Meet the Mayor," a segment in which we interview local Foursquare Mayors in
their natural habitats.
The Publick House
Jon Gilman
I'm told they offer a significant variety of beer from Belgium here?
They
do. I think American craft beer is getting on par with the Belgians,
but there's something about like having a Chimay and knowing the same
thing was brewed by monks in the 1500s. That's kind of cool, and the
Publick House helps relay that experience.
I read on the internet that Belgium exports more chocolate than anywhere else in the world. What do you think of chocolate?
I
love chocolate. Actually, Mystic Brewery, which is local, makes a
porter with chocolate in it. The chocolate adds a heaviness and
creaminess to the beer. It doesn't taste like a cupcake, but it adds a
little bit of dessert flavor.
I also read that Belgium was where Napoleon finally got beat. Do you think he'd enjoy hanging out here?
I
don't think Washington Square really wants Napoleon hanging around. I
think the scene at the Publick House would be a little too chill for
him.
Could George Washington beat Napoleon in a drinking contest?
Um, yes, based on ... Actually, let's just leave it at that.
