Best sours available in CA
Good California extension of great notion from Portland. Nice variety - fruited beers, IPA’s, smoked polish, stouts. Parking can be difficult. Sunday has happy hour all day.
We had a great time watching the world cup here with the curly haired bartender! He was very knowledgeable and inviting. I recommend stopping by for a pint, unless you’re an Arsenal fan.
