Restaurant Thir13en Head Chef
and Owner Adam Pechal that
hasn’t already been said?

talented chef. So talented in fact that he
landed a spot on ABC’s reality cooking

Pechal. He has confidence, panache and a
flair for pairing beer with food that makes
him stand out from the crowd.

dishes with Drake’s Brewing Co. out of San
Leandro, California. Drake’s Brewing has

subtle tart and creamy flavors of the Meyer
Lemon Remoulade.
This dish was paired with a Drake’s Hefe.
This beer is an unfiltered, Bavarian style
wheat beer. This beer has some slight

hefewieisen yeast. What separates this
beer from your standard Hefe is that it is
