Five Must-Drink Beers in Del Mar Village
San Diego County is a haven for beer lovers, and Del Mar Village has two breweries to call its own: Viewpoint Brewing Co., first on the scene in Del Mar, brews its beer onsite overlooking San Dieguito Lagoon, and WestBrew’s tasting room sits in the middle of the action on 15th Street and Camino Del Mar. Even better, many Del Mar restaurants pour beers from both breweries, so you can enjoy them throughout the village. Here are five to try right now:
Dias Largos at L'Auberge Del Mar
This Viewpoint brew uses pilsner malt and flaked corn to produce a light body and subtle corn finish. US Goldings hops add a touch of bitterness, while Mexican lager yeast produces a clean, crisp easy drinker. Summertime, and the sipping’s easy…
Del Martian Amber Ale at Monarch Ocean Pub
Another Viewpoint beer, not too sweet with a touch of bitter, balanced the whole way through. A Del Martian favorite that's truly out of this world!
San Dieguito Saison at Viewpoint Brewing Co.
French S.M.A.S.H (Single Malt Single Hop) saison with spicy esters and a dry finish.
WestBrew Pils at WestBrew
A crisp and bright German-style pilsner with a WestBrew twist: a modest helping of Amarillo hops for a nice lime zest flavor on the nose as well as in the beginning of your first sip. Enjoy on WestBrew’s sunny patio for brunch, lunch or dinner – you can’t go wrong.
Hazy By the Sea at WestBrew
A juicy, tropical hazy bursting with stone fruit, honey-dew, peach, and pineapple, brewed with tons of oats and flaked wheat. According to WestBrew it’s like drinking a glass of clouds, and we like the sound of that!
