Some b**rs are worth going the extra mile for… literally.
Our team makes the drive to in Alpine to hand-pick up some of San Diego County’s most sought-after craft b**r. You won’t find it on just any tap list, and that’s exactly why we’re excited to be pouring it at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.
Now pouring: Westwind WC Pale Ale
Get a taste of Alpine without leaving the bay. Join us for a pint, pair it with your favorite seafood, and see what all the hype is about.
