Pacific Coast Ales: Sun, Sand, and Suds

San Diego is beer paradise, and Pacific Coast Ales is one of the best reasons why. Sitting just blocks from the waterfront, this brewery combines killer beers with an unbeatable vibe.

The Sunset Saison is the best farmhouse ale I have had in California, and the Ocean Breeze Pale is a textbook West Coast pale ale. With 30 beers in their catalog, there is something for every palate.

Food is limited but solid, focusing on seafood and light bites that complement the beer perfectly. The fish tacos are outstanding.
