Grub, beer, and fall-like weather at Mutz on Tue, Jul 15, 2014

DD and I arrived at The Oliver House around 7:40 pm. We sat outside Mutz in the small courtyard area surrounded by a four-story brick building on all sides. Irregular-shaped courtyard. Tight, cozy area. Nice. Right next to Petit Fours cafe.

It was a fall-like evening. It felt like a high school football Friday night in September. Toledo temps at about 8:00 p.m. were in the upper 60s. It was breezy at times, even down in the courtyard. Partly cloudy sky. Amazingly comfy for mid-July.

We missed the Maumee Bay Brewing Company's limited-release black raspberry Belgian wit, or something like that.

Tonight we're drinking a red saison released last night, July 14.

I ordered the Betty's Salad, an old Toledo tradition, and hand-cut fries. DD ordered the turkey burger with a side of asparagus.

I don't know who else in the area offers the Betty Salad. It's comprised of spinach, spr

After our meal, DD and I split an apricot wheat beer. Both beers were tasty. The wheat beer had a burnt yellow-orange color.

I needed to dress warmer. I wore jeans because of the cool weather. I should have worn a long-sleeved shirt. It was chilly, sitting outside at 9:17 pm with the occasional breeze, especially after drinking beer and a glass of water.

For the July 3 outdoor party that we attended in Maumee, it was a cool evening, so I wore a t-shirt with a flannel shirt, but this evening, July 15, was cooler.

This summer's cool weather reminds me of the summer of 1992 in the Toledo area where I wore long sleeves on many evenings outside.
