La Jolla Brew House San Diego
By Rocky | January 15, 2008
The San Diego Union Tribune is doing what a lot of city newspapers do each January, do “best of” of their city using a readers poll. Best pub is a prized award and the La Jolla Brew House is the hot favorite to take the best pub in San Diego award. The La Jolla Brew House is at 7536 Fay Avenue in beautiful La Jolla which is just a few miles north of the centre of San Diego on the Californian Coast. The pub does some great meals but the beer is what the pub is famous for. The pub has it’s own brewery and the beer sure is good, they usually have about 10 types on tap including a Czech style Blonde, an India Pale Ale, and an extra special bitters but they also have a range of amazing beers which are like no other including the Heffwetzzen which like the name suggests is German style with banana and apple flavors, and a rich creamy milk stout, and a beer called Red Roost which has caramel malts and a touch of chocolate malt- it is absolutely beautiful.
