Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Tomorrow over at Food GPS, my altar ego talks about where he went after leaving the Firestone Walker Invitational…
More details on the beer will be there, but for now, the travelogue….
STOP # 1
Barrelhouse Brewing in Paso Robles
STOP # 2
Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. in Buellton
Oh, and one stop that I missed that you will just have to read about tomorrow.
Their motto is “Tap it, taste it, love it”
Tap It is based in beautiful San Luis Obispo.
They have two offerings on draft or in bottles:
APA
“Truly a handcrafted original, our American Pale Ale is a distinctive, crisp beer that’s delightfully easy to drink. Its deep golden color, full-bodied mouth feel and robust flavors combine to create a smooth finish with just the right amount of snap, presenting the perfect pour. 5.5% ABV”
IPA
“Our traditional India Pale Ale is continually hopped throughout the brewing process to provide the distinctively rich, aromatic flavors associated with this brewery classic. Made with four different varieties of light, citrusy hops, the flavors harmonize and combine with the initial sweetness of the malt to create a full-bodied beer that’s smooth, satisfying and exceptionally drinkable. 6.5% ABV”
Since my parents are more into wine than beer, I am relieved to find places that serve both and serve both well. The Ojai Beverage Company is such a place.
