Looking for any must hit bottle shops or taps in walkimg distance from the convention center. Going to be down there all next week for work and want to hit some places on my breaks. Will be hitting the usual tasting rooms on my way back to OC each day. Thanks!
Mission Brewery is very close (though I'd not call it must hit) and Monkey Paw Brewery (longer walk, but could be combined with the trolley to make it shorter) are worthwhile.
Close to the Center, you also have The Corner, Bootlegers and Knotty Barrel. I'm not a fan of Neighborhood, so tend to hit other spots. It is getting to where almost any bar downtown will have at least a few good beers on tap. Walk a little farther, or Trolley real close, and go to Johnny Brown's.
