Rough Draft Brewing Co.

FEATURED CRAFT BEER

So you voted and we heard loud and clear. This is one of San Diego’s top breweries. Take a look back soon and check out the review with high resolution photography. Enjoy!

Below is from their website…

It all started with a gift home brew kit, a passion for making great beer, and ongoing taste-test experiments in the garage with plastic buckets, stovetop kettles, and willing friends. After countless trips to the local home brew store and nearly 20 years, Rough Draft Brewing Company was conceived with one mission in mind – create innovative, high-quality craft beers worth sharing with those who love beer as much as we do.

As we’ve grown, so has our team. Each excited, passionate, and dedicated to delivering great tasting, drink-anywhere brews that are as unique in character as those who drink them. We honor the craft of brewing just as much as our customer’s responses to our beers. Which is why the beers that prove to be winners in our tasting room first, become the ones we put into distribution. So stop by our tasting room, pick up a bottle at your grocery store, or enjoy a Rough Draft beer on draft at your favorite bar or restaurant – and be sure to let us know what you think.

Good Eats says you need to taste the beers below at Rough Draft Brewing Company…

ERASER IPA

Style: IPA

IBU: 80

ABV: 7.0%

Good day or bad. It’s all how you look at it right? So it started out with you stubbing your toe on the way to the bathroom, coffee-staining your favorite shirt, and Betty and Accounting taking the last breakfast burrito. You’re not gonna let that bother you. Today is your day and you’re here now with an Eraser IPA. It’s everyday moments like these you savor, and while you here enjoying every last sip of its bold, hoppy goodness, you know tomorrow will be better. And that Betty is going to pay for what she did. Nose of orange. Moderate body, light malt flavor with lingering hop resin. Substantial yet refreshing.

AMBER ALE

Style: Ale

IBU: 18

ABV: 7.5%

Unless you’ve spent your nights and weekends crocheting finger puppets with the likeness of past presidents, we’re guessing you’ve tasted amber style beer. And chances are, you enjoyed it. Well my friend, this is no ordinary amber. In your hand is a full-flavored Rough Draft. Amped with a complexity of caramel maltiness to please any leader of nations. So do your country proud and drink up just as your forefathers would have wanted. Well-balanced, full-flavored and pleasant to be around. Just like you. Malt-forward. Roasty with hints of caramel and chocolate. Full body. Balanced profile with delayed hop on the finish.

BLOND

Style: IPA

IBU: 17

ABV: 6.2%

Attractively light and subtly sweet, this full-bodied beauty is one that you’ll want to revisit time and time again. Sweet, floral, notes of honey. Lightly fruity with a touch of spice from traditional trappist yeast. Finishes Dry.
