Call The Silly Squad I'm Obsessed With Peanut Butter Stout |
|
After discovering Peanut Butter Stout I've gone crazy looking for it.
Two Martinez breweries didn't have a dark beer on tap Friday. Just IPA after IPA. I guess that's what their customers like (or the only beer they know how to make? Consider that a gauntlet slap from me).
Saturday I had better luck in Moraga and Lafayette. Both breweries had dark beers. Stouts, Black Lagers, Brown Ales and Porters. One offered soft pretzels just $10.
Epidemic Ales, Concord, I like the variety, their multitude of flights, and the taste of many of their beers. Due to traffic I will visit this place on weekends or after I buy a helicopter.
EJ Phair, Pittsburg I like the location (close to me), the decor, the people, and their "short glasses."
Five Suns Brewing, Martinez. I like downtown Martinez, I like the patio, they often do music, they offer beer flights and food truck cuisine. I would prefer some dark beers and more atmosphere.
Del Ceilo Brewing, Martinez very polished, event oriented, and Aaron is the best beertender by far. Beers are good but they seem fixated on Mexican and IPA'S beers. Where's the diversity? Or is it skill?
Canyon Club Brewing, Moraga I love this place. I'd be here all the time, except I have to navigate 7-8 miles of slow, curvy, Moraga Rd. They love dark beers here.
Headlands Brewing Company, Lafayette lots of beer choices, maybe the largest selection. Parking, limited menu, and tight quarters, makes this a place for "when I'm in the area and thirsty."
Each of these places makes a decent beer. But, I'm in search of the Holy Grail of Beers. Have you been to any of these breweries? Which ones do you like? Comment Here!
Me? I like the factory-chic EJ PHAIR brewery, in downtown Pittsburg. I like Matthew, Gabby, the Chicago Dog, and the Peanut Butter Stout.

Brentwood has it's own brewery yeah. They offer flights, and the beer is good. They are off the beaten path and I wish them luck. Check out the new art walk at night in Concord. Looking forward to taking the tour myself.
