On my way to Costa Mesa Cali. I plan to hit barley forge and Newport Beach brewing if nothing else. Staying right by John Wayne airport. Any recommendations? I will have a rental car but don’t plan to venture too far.
Noble, bottle logic, and Good beer company would be my top three. First two are Anaheim and third is Santa Ana.
+1 for Barley Forge. Good food, too.
Thanks. I want to stick pretty close to the coast since it me rare for me to get to see the ocean. I would like to make it up to those others though.
It’s all very close by Southern California standards. Noble and bottle logic to the airport is about 20-30 min. There is a contract brewery near the airport embassy suites. You can catch a wiff if the winds are right.
You are right it is close. I just have limited time during the days because I am here for work.
Barley force was solid for sure. Newport was pretty good but it’s more of a touristy restaurant kind of vibe. We will see what tomorrow brings.
