Not for the faint of heart or hearing, English Ales Brewery hosted a New Year's Eve Eve party with all night happy hour prices and a karaoke machine. English Ales Brewery, locally and family owned, has supply accounts all over the peninsula and beyond. If you are a beer drinker and out and about, look for their beers on tap or in bottles (see link). My favorite is Fat Lip Amber Ale (pictured), but you will also find names like 1066 Pale Ale, Dragon Slayer IPA, Big Sur Golden, and Monterey Bay Wheat. Corkscrew Ale commemorates the track at nearby Laguna Seca Raceways and satisfies mightily after a long day of bird watching. Home brewers find English Ale bottles desirable for re-bottling their own brews since the labels come off easily. Also interesting is the little menu of Hoang's Delights found tucked back in the booth. If you don't feel like standard pub fare, order dumplings created on the premises by their chefs (according to our server, they are all Vietnamese).
Need another reason to visit? English Ales Brewery is a strong supporter of CASA of Monterey County and other local agencies. If you haven't purchased a calendar for 2011 yet, check out the Ladies of English Ales version, all proceeds of which support Salinas Animal Services. Stay tuned for a behind the scenes tour. This neighborhood bar is not high brow, but you'll be drawn in the minute a regular sees you coming and invites you to sing. Um.........no.
