Knotty Brewing Co.
It is barely a year old but serves some of the best beers in town. It has a five-barrel brewhouse and a small tasting room. Unlike many breweries in town, they brew the beer in classic styles. Donovan Lane, a member of their brewery team, takes a studied approach to brew using distinct grains and yeasts. This gives the beer a traditional flavor, which is quite uncommon these days.
Half Door Brewing
This Irish style pub serves tempting freshly brewed beer. The historic house is right in the middle of high-rise condos, providing a spectacular view of Petco Park. What excites pet lovers, and some of our favorite residents, is their dog-friendly patios. Interestingly, their beers are unfiltered. Thus, they have a murky nature that may not be for everyone. They’re old for those of us who prefer to chew our beers!
10 Barrel Brewing Co.
The founders of 10 Barre and l share a mutual interest brew beer–drinking beer and have fun doing it. They’re famous for their adventurous events and wacky flavors. You should definitely try their cucumber crush and raspberry crush, most recommended by their customers.
