Movie night in the gardens at Stone Brewery. Duck burrito + Green Flash West Coast IPA on cask. Always a good time.
Check out the Stone Brewery website. That bar looks like it could be one of the happiest places on Earth. Like the lady said…
It is the happiest place on earth, or at least happiest place in all of Southern California.
We did the brewery tour there for a friend’s bachelor party. It was awesome. Not only was the tour free but they handed out free samples of beer at the end, the equivalent of about 2 drinks worth of samples.
The restaurant was beyond top notch, best food and beer pairing I’ve ever had. It was right up there with $50 plates of food I’ve had from fancy snooty restaurants. I’d choose the brewery restaurant over any fancy French or Italian or anything else.
It is definitely one of the big things I missed about moving from Southern California.
