Pie-n-Pint, Rubicon Brewing Co. Sacramento CA

I dropped in Rubicon Brewing for a quick dessert of Mud Pie. The pie arrived as a generous slice of frozen mud pie topped with such delicious drippings as chocolate sauce, shaved almonds and whipped cream, all on top of a crumbly crust.

Slicing through the pie with a fork, the filling had the consistency of frozen chocolate cream pie. The filling was rich and velvety to taste. The gooey syrup and whipped cream added to the richness of the desert. Warning: Rubicon's Mud Pie is a hefty, rich desert. I wouldn't want to try this desert before dinner, since you may not have enough appetite for dinner. If you wait until after dinner, you may not have enough room to go for the Mud Pie. My suggestion is to show up at Rubicon at 3 or so, indulge yourself shamelessly in a 'Pie-n-Pint', then walk it off on the pleasant streets of mid-town Sacramento. Then return to Rubicon for dinner.

For my pint, I chose the Cali Stout. The stout poured dark brown with a light head. The taste had a chocolate flavor and some pleasant bite to it, with the bitter-sweetness associated with rich chocolate desserts. As with chocolate deserts, the Cali Stout went well with the Mud Pie.
