What were we doing?
We were having lunch at La Birreria, a rooftop brewery at Eataly NYC. It’s been over a year since I’ve eaten here so I rallied a few of my colleagues to join me for some brew and good eats.
What We Drank – all three of Birreria’s House Brewed Cask Ales:
- Wanda – Chestnut Mild Ale – A traditional dark Mild ale with roasted chestnuts, a unique brewing ingredient in Italy.
- Ruby – American Pale Ale – Brewed with organic figs, mustard seed and red chili flake.Our-brewer’s interpretation of fig mostardo.
- Gina – Thyme Pale Ale – A traditional American Pale Ale with fresh thyme from the hills of Borgorose, Italy.
What We Ate
- 3 Formaggi with honey and hazelnuts – Asiago Fresco, Ribiola Bosina, and Parmigiano
- Affettati Misti (selection of all salumi – speck, soppresata, prosciutto, mortadella, coppa and cacciatorini)
- Beer-braised pork shoulder with celery, local apples and mustard vinaigrette
- Pesce del Giorno – Local halibut with sunchokes, orange and saffron citronette
- Panna Cotta

I didn’t have my camera with me, so I used my WerYoo iPhone app. The photos came out pretty good, considering I was using my iPhone and not a DSLR which we normally use.
Ok, so what’s WerYoo?
WerYoo was founded in the UK by Graham Duff and Chris Foulston in 2012. It allows you to share what you see and find photos from other people nearby in real-time. Since I take a lot of photos of food and share them on my social networks, it’s important the photos come out great. If it’s not great, I don’t post it. What I like about the WerYoo app are the editing tools. Like many photo-editing applications, you can sharpen, adjust the brightness, crop, and apply one of the thirteen effects to the photos you take. When you finalize the changes, you can upload them to the app, post comments, and be discovered. Get the app and give it a try.
