Still kickin' it in the middle of winter!

You've gotta love California, there's always something growing. And while the rest of the country shivers and shovels, our farmers are out at the leading edge of the season, bringing us fresh local produce. We just want to tell them, "thanks." We know we're lucky, and we know that they make it happen.
Come and Get It!

OCEAN VIEW BREW WORKSCatch their newest release, “The Odyssey German Lager,” described for us thusly, “…While you may be wooed by the songs of the sirens, sail straight forth for a pint. The Cyclops may promise an endless feast of meats and cheese, but no meal is complete with a cold glass of this lager.” We asked for tasting notes, but this is better. Samples at the booth, if you’re old enough. Also: maybe a surprise new release!
 
… and in the booth with the brews, SQUABISCH PRETZELSwith six or seven varieties of freshly-baked pretzels including  The Classic - w/ Maldon Salt, The Castroville – with artichoke hearts, garlic & Monterey jack cheese, and The Pepperoni Pizza Pretzel – with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni sausage.
 
AL CHILE KITCHENBetter start hanging around the booth because Barbara is working on a recipe for “Choripan,” a street food sausage, grilled and sold on a bun – sort of a South American hot dog. And, because you asked, her recent trip took her to, “ … the Atacama desert in North Chile, a magical place for sure, then Buenos Aires which I LOVED then crossed to Uruguay on a boat...then went back to Chile and visited Valparaiso & Viña del Mar... beautiful coasts there!!”
