Still looking for Mother’s Day plans? Well, luckily the San Diego beer community has you covered.
One nice option is the “Bring Mom Out For A Beer Day” hop on/hop off bus that will shuttle you and mom, for free, to these bars between 11am and 3:30pm: Blind Lady Ale House in Normal Heights, Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in North Park, Small Bar in University Heights, Hamiltons Tavern in South Park, and Monkey Paw Pub & Brewery in the East Village. There will be fresh roses at Monkey Paw, and drink/food specials around the circuit. This is a great way to show mom all the places she knows you already frequent, and it will make for lasting, or not so lasting, memories.
Or, take a short road trip out to Ramona with mom and visit the guys from Liquid Glass Co., whose tap handles you read about on page 20 of the April 2012 issue of West Coaster. Glass art experts Greg Hosterman and Dan McStocker host an open studio event every Mother’s Day weekend with catered lunch, live glass blowing demonstrations and plenty of glass art to admire or shop from. The event is open to all ages, and goes from 10am – 4pm on Saturday as well as Sunday.
