Nothing makes us happier than seeing newfound beer enthusiasts ditch their cans of Natty and PBR to pick up a bottle of something crafty, or impressing us further by pouring their beer into proper glassware.
Something to talk a'stout
If you haven’t been to Spike’s Pub — located in the Creamery in downtown San Luis Obispo — we’d highly recommend it.
