Notes

Visited: January 10, 1995

Opened: 1992

Annual Production: 1,500 bbl

A lager brewery even more upscale than Gordon Biersch. Good beers and food, but pricey.

Directions: Highway 17 to Los Gatos exit. Left at Santa Cruz Street. Los Gatos Brewing is actually on a side street, but you'll see their sign on your left a few blocks along.

      Great amber color. Fruity hop nose, very nice. Nice body, nice hops, nice finish. VERY cold. Tastes a lot like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

      Overall Impression
      Very dark red. Vinous aroma, with alcohol. Bitter. Black malts dominate. Served WAY too cold.

      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 13½ points
      Overall Impression
      Brown red opaque. No head. Vaguely brown aroma. Not assertive. Good carbonation bite. Caramel flavor, some coffee. Sweet. I'd prefer it drier and more bitter.
    • Date: May 16, 1993 (#26)
      Package: draught
      Score: 16 points
      Overall Impression
      Black. Aroma like a good Porter. A little thin, but when you account for the fact it's a lager, it's not bad at all. Dark malts come through well. Maybe underhopped. Very good beer.
