A couple of weekends ago my wife were down in San Diego County, so we took a little extra time to visit some brewpubs. If you've got to go somewhere to eat, it might as well have some great beer!
On Friday night we made our way down to
Alpine Beer Co. (Alpine, CA). This place was highly recommended by a friend and we weren't disappointed.
It's a tiny little place in town and has a really cool mountainy cafe character. It was pouring rain outside too, so that added to the feel!
We got started with the six sampler of Willy Vanilly, Alpine Ale, Mandarin Nectar, Duet, and Pure Hoppiness. My wife liked the Willy Vanilly the best due to the fresh vanilla taste and I enjoyed the Mandarin Nectar the most as the honey used as a fermentable gave the beer a unique taste.
The food at Alpine Beer Co. was killer too. We started out with the pulled pork potato skins (special) as an appetizer and then finished off with a spicy chicken sausage sandwich. Both were great.
The next day we were down in Point Loma and randomly selected
Pacific Beach AleHouse (San Diego, CA). It was right down on the beach and I can imagine this place gets crazy in the Summer.
I went for their standard taster of Good Times Gold, White Wash Wheat, Crystal Pier Pale Ale, Promiscuous IPA (in place of Amber Wave that was tapped out), and PB Porter. My favorite was the Pale Ale.
For food, the Rattlesnake Flatbread was very good. The lobster mac and cheese was way too pricey.
