Closed: 1997

Contributor: Chris Covany

Pretty good beers. The kitchen was closed for remodeling when I was there...didn't even have any bar snacks! And there's no rail on the bar...
Directions: Take Highway 1 south from San Luis Obispo, turn left on Grand. (If you turn right, you'll get Really Wet.) The pub is a couple of blocks along on the left.

Beer List

  • Barleywine
    • Date: April 28, 1995 (#905)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 14½ points
      Overall Impression
      Dark red-amber opaque. Citrusy-orange aroma. Good body...has a fruity candy flavor that I can't place. Slightly astringent - yet - cloying finish.
  • Copper Penny Amber
    • Date: April 28, 1995 (#903)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 15 points
      Overall Impression
      Amber, clear, low carbonation, OK head. Some faint caramel aroma. Good caramel flavor and well-balanced bitterness. All beers here have low visible carbonation but tactile carbonation is OK...
  • Grover Gold
    American-Style Pale Ale
    • Date: April 28, 1995 (#902)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 13½ points
      Overall Impression
      Certainly is gold...low carbonation, good white head. Clean aroma...again. These beers are good, but they could use some late hopping. Bitterness is OK. Malts definitely in background. Still, not a bad beer.
  • Pismo Porter
    Robust Porter
    • Date: April 28, 1995 (#904)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 12½ points
      Overall Impression
      Dark red, clear. Big head from line overpressure. Grainy aroma, some coffee. Coffee flavor burst fades WAY too quick. OK body, but flavors lag.
