My one visit to Ale House Rock wasn't particularly enjoyable...the waitress didn't have a clue about which beer was which, the music was WAY too loud, and the service was generally slow, inept, and inattentive. Maybe you'll have better luck, especially since new owners have taken over.

Directions: Pacific Coast Highway to Beach, turn east. Right on Adams. Ale House Rock is on the right, just past the Mobil station.

Beer List

  • Brewzer's Red Ale
    • Date: February 14, 1996 (#1306)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 12½ points
      Overall Impression
      Red, OK carbonation and head. Clean aroma, hint of sweetness. Sweetish, hint of caramel, especially in finish. Not as boring as O.C. Honey Wheat (17-1305).
  • Newland Porter
    • Date: February 14, 1996 (#1307)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 13½ points
      Overall Impression
      Dark brown red, good head. Some black malt aroma. Thick enough...flavors are all there, but very subdued. Not nearly a big enough beer.
  • O.C. Honey Wheat
    Light American Wheat Ale or Lager with Yeast
    • Date: February 14, 1996 (#1305)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 12 points
      Overall Impression
      Golden-amber, OK head and carbonation. Pretty clean aroma. Wheaty, but very very clean, with almost no finish at all. Definitely no honey character.
  • Pier Shooter Pale Ale
    American-Style Pale Ale
    • Date: February 14, 1996 (#1304)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 14 points
      Overall Impression
      Golden, good carbonation, low head. Faintly sweet aroma. Nice malty flavor, a bit sweet but not out of line. OK slightly vegetal hop finish.
