IPAs, Pork Belly and Bacon-Wrapped Octopus: 8th Anniversary Celebration starts Friday

It is hard to express in words how stoked and grateful we are to be still serving this food and drink that we love, in this neighborhood, 8 years into it. Thank you. We’re planning to celebrate with you all weekend, with IPAs, pork belly, bacon-wrapped octopus and the best fish in the sea.

Starting on Friday we’ll be marking the big oh-eight with eight IPA on draft and cask. Depending on when you come in, they will include 8 beers from the following selection:

(cask) Sublimely Self Righteous, Stone Brewing
(cask) Black IPA, Green Flash
The Maharaja IIPA Avery
Avery IPA
Dorado IIPA, Ballast Point
LeFreak, Green Flash
Green Bullet IIIPA, Green Flash
Mongo IIPA, Port Brewing
Idiot IIPA, Coronado
Pupil, Societe
Hop Head Red, Green Flash (yes, it’s not billed as an IPA, but we think it fits in here as a variation)
X, AleSmith (see above)

Also, all weekend we will be featuring a couple blasts from our past : 1) Baja octopus wrapped in house cured bacon, and 2) pork belly (acorn-fed pastured Duroc from Jim & Christine Maguire in Santa Margarita), glazed, braised and grilled, just like the old days. We’re also going to run a special of parchment-steamed fish with the best local catch they have at Catalina Offshore on Friday morning.

We hope you join us, I’ll see you here!
