The Bite
Wanna skip the green-beer hubbub this St. Patty's? We hear ya – so down a cold one from OC's The Bruery instead. Putting the rue in Bruery is owner Patrick Rue, who uses herbs from his own backyard to concoct some of TB's 10 creative brews. Catch the new Saison De Lente – a light blonde ale – between now and the end of April, or the here-comes-summer, semisweet Orchard White ale, made with coriander, citrus peel, and lavender. It's all brewed onsite using lots o' local ingredients (like yeast from San Diego), and if you wanna stock up for a ruckus at home, just fill up a growler in TB's tasting room.
