In the city they call Long Beach

On vacation in California with a few old friends of mine. Got picked up at the airport and, withing 15 minutes, we were sitting beachside at the Belmont Brewing Company. We ordered several pitchers of the Top Sail Amber - which I found pretty good, but definitely with more bitterness to the back end than you get out of a traditional Amber. Less on the malt sweetness, more on the hops.

I'm hoping to get us directed toward an establishment with some rotating taps for a few more CA-based brews while I'm in town through Tuesday.
