IT'S A SANDWICH SERIES! >>>

It's hard to elevate the sandwich into something truly extraordinary. There are a few spots in South Sound that manage, though, turning out masterful creations that put those mediocre ham-and-cheese-on-white-bread creations to shame. One of those spots is the Fish Tale Brew Pub in downtown Olympia.

In addition to brewing delectable local ciders, ales and lagers, the Fish Tale also creates awesome sandwiches, each with its own unique twist.

The sandwich Fish tale could mount on the wall would be its ham and Brie. Loaded with deli ham, smothered in nutty melted Brie and nestled between two slices of grilled sourdough, this one takes the trophy with the inclusion of sliced granny smith apples and mellow horseradish.

There's nothing like biting into a sammy and experiencing the sweetness, tartness and spiciness, all mixed together.

It's filling, but doesn't induce a food coma.

FISH TALE BREW PUB, 11 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT MONDAY-FRIDAY, 9 A.M. TO MIDNIGHT SATURDAY, 9 A.M. TO 10 P.M. SUNDAY, 515 JEFFERSON ST. SE, OLYMPIA, 360.943.6480
