Jon Myerow says the new Tria Taproom was meant to be a more "masculine" version of the Tria cafes, with a larger craft beer focus on its 40 taps and a whitewashed brick decor trimmed with industrial blackened steel and reclaimed wood.

The biggest difference, though, is in the kitchen, where a wood-fired grill is a big step up from the toaster oven/panini-pressed limits of the cafes.

I enjoyed several dishes here, including crispy fingerling "fries" with creamy Taleggio dip and tender octopus with a sweet cherry lambic glaze.

The grilled flatbread pizzas, though, created by In Riva's Arthur Cavaliere (as a consultant) are worth noting. I especially loved the oval topped with salty plumes of duck confit, tangy-sweet cherry-fig mostarda, piquant Gorgonzola, and creamy poufs of tan foie gras mousse. Make that a "manly" mousse.
