Great Beer Selection
For all those who have not been paying attention (yeah I am talking to all you Budweiser drinkers), San Diego is nationally recognized as the #1 upcoming county in the US for Craft breweries, with its breweries bringing home the most Medals in North American at the 2010 World Beer Cup (22 Medals). Beer Magazine even mentioned San Diego as the new Napa of Beer's, with 35 independently owned Craft Breweries; including : Stone, Lost Abbey, Alpine, Ballast Point, Ale Smith, GreenFlash, etc. San Diego Breweries are leading the charge in changing the industry. They are using new brewing techniques, such as using wine Oak/Sherry barrels to age beer, to adding new ingredients to the mix such as Chocolate/Chilpotle/Fruit's/Coffee, to better hops/barley, etc, all in the game to give more definition and flavor to beer. Why have I mentioned this, SIMPLE, we live in the Meca of Beer's people!!!! The Tap room carries several local Craft Brew's, and in addition they carry several Craft brew's from around the country, with over 50 beer's on Tap ever day. Before you head out you can check their website for specials, or more importantly, A LIVE BEER UPDATER! It tells you whats on tap... how much is left and whats on deck!
In addition to beer, their bar sports several TV's and a great selection of bar food. Their lunch special is by far the best in PB. For their lunch special your given the the choice of "Choose One" and the options include: 2 slices of pizza, chicken wings, calamari, several salad's, etc. Then you decide on your beverage. If you want a soda its a total of 5 dollars for the Food+ Soda. For a beer (and I am talking about a good craft beer) its a total of 7 dollars. In conclusion, if you like piss water beer, such as Budweiser/Miller, then this is not your place. But if your looking for a fine, robust, flavorful beer that you will actually enjoy instead straight shotgunning it to get drunk, then look no further in Pacific Beach.
