Not your typical "where should i go" post. I'm in town for a night. Thought about heading to Brewbakers after my work commitments were done to grab some beers. If anyone has a better idea in that Main St. area please let me know. Otherwise, lets get a group of people to meet up and have a beer or 10. I am open to any and all other ideas, so just let me know.
So... I'd go to Howies Pizza on Mooney Blvd, Katie the bartender is cool and they have a bunch of good stuff...from Bruery, Sierra Nevada, FW, Pizza Port...breweries from all over and sometimes one off stuff. If your lucky you may get to try a beer from Pendragon (nanobrewery), the stuff goes fast when available. Another location is Pita Kabob on Walnut/Akers...GREAT food and about 12 handles, all craft. We'll worth the visit. Ask for Chafic (the owner) he knows his beers and loves talking craft beer. I'm not a huge fan of Brewbakers, but every great while I have a good beer there...but since your there I suppose you can see for yourself.
i'd prefer to stay walking distance to my hotel... which is 100 ft. from brew bakers from what I can tell. So the main st. area of Visalia is where I will stay for that evening. However I did hear Howies is solid in all aspects.
In that case just go to VBC... about a block west of Brewbakers...they have a ton of taps, a lot of craft but not quite as eclectic as those previously mentioned.
sweet! Thanks for the tip buddy. I will add that to the list... its a short list. it goes like this. get to Visalia around 3pm, check in to hotel. walk around the corner and order beer. order another beer and another eat beer beer eat walk beer ... somewhere around here I plan on purchasing a cigar for no reason.
I will be in Alaska or I'd meet you for a beer. I'll second the howies and pita kabob recommendations. Best beer selections in town by a mile.
Thanks for the info. I always end up at brewbakers but next time visiting the family I'll have options.
Havent been an awhile but Cellar Door across from VBC has an all craft tap selection and big bottle selection as well.
