The Experience, Alameda: Almanac Beer Co. Offerings
The Experience:
A vacation close to home!
With six unique gathering spaces, each with its own vibe, Almanac is a vacation close to home. And there’s tons of parking, which in itself is a vacation!
Kids can dive into fun with their sandboxes, slushies, pinball machines and classic arcade games, while adults can savor world-class, award-winning beer and delicious food options, including pizza, sandos, burgers, salads and vegetarian dishes. Featured here is Scolari’s Burger with bacon, blue cheese and blueberries, if you can imagine.
Once you’ve decided on food, grab a beer to your liking – for light beers there’s Crispy Girl, a Czech Pilsner or if you want something hoppy there’s Overcast or Big Love or Flow – a west coast IPA. Like fruity? Try Sunshine & Opportunity, a Sour with Triple Strawberry & Dragonfruit.
Here’s whose cooking this weekend both Saturday and Sunday.
- Crazy Block Cheesecake
- Marley G’s Pizza
- O’toole’s Fire & Spice
- Scolari’s Good Eats
So grab your friends and take a break out at Alameda Point. The crew at Almanac can’t wait to see you.
