Hit tied house tonight, pretty solid food and beers. A little let down they were out of their "citra" which I was looking forward to trying, but the ipa was pretty good. I think I'll head up to east bay to check those other ones out tomorrow.

Thanks for the suggestions!

If you're heading up the east bay, go the The trappist and Beer Revolution in Oakland. Worth the drive.

Had quite a few pints up at Faultline - not a bad spot. Pricey food, but i'm expensing meals and a beer (or two) to the company. The best Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich i've had in CA though. Beers are solid enough, if I was here for two weeks I would have picked up a mini-keg of their IPA for $25 so I could take advantage of a refill. Maybe their porter too, had a couple of those.

Joe the bartender was slick (got a couple shots on the house), we got along well watching my boys the Celtics. Stupid mistakes this game, step it up kids.

Worth a visit if you're in the area for sure.
