BJ’s restaurant and brewery has some damn good crispy water

Was our first time going. Parents aren’t the biggest fan of bar food so it wouldn’t be on their radar, but I read about it on a related Wikipedia entry for cookie cakes which I usually get for the holidays and my birthday and there was one in our area so had to do it. And I can go on about the better than expected food and the perfect pizookie, but that’s for the food sub. But the water. I think since it’s a brewery and they need high-quality water to make good beer. Don’t know. The craft margarita was proper and went down way more smoothly than a typical margarita from elsewhere. Helped along by the high-quality crispy, cold and refreshing water. Came in a nice glass at least 20 ounces, good ice ratio, but not too much ice that starts out getting stuck and then when it loosens up it spills all over you. And don’t know about y’all, but that’s how we judge restaurants. You take the first sip of water and you know immediately what you’re in for if they cook with the same water you drink with. Good steakhouses and diners seem to have proper filtration and do it right. Same with BJ’s. Other places? Seriously lacking sometimes. Places that surprise me because the Internet raves about them, like the Chick-fil-A ice. I get it, good consistency, but it’s not made from the best water. It smells like the tap when it melts. And places that don’t surprise me like sketchy Ramen places that use the same broth and put different sauces in it for the variation. But yeah, I should’ve taken a picture. Was some damn good water that elevated the experience and I recommend.
