The Stag’s Head Presents: Beers of San Diego

Visit Midtown East’s Best Craft Beer Bar for a Taste of San Diego’s Best Brews


What: The Stag's Head welcomes Mission Brewing to New York City to give guests a taste of their Amber and Shipwreck; along with brews from Greenflash (West Coast IPA, Hop Head Red), Ballast Point (Reef Rye, Sculpin) and Stone Brewing (15th Anniversary, Sublimely Self-Righteous). Ben Wood from Ballast Point will host the tasting and talk all things Southern California beer, and Chef Bruce will be making free treats for the beer-loving patrons. Re-established in 2007, Mission Brewery was awarded two national medals at the Great American Beer Festival. Greenflash specialize in brewing assertive and distinctive beers, such as their West Coast I.P.A.: an award-winning beer whose wide acceptance has helped define a category. They also brew seasonal, collaborative and barrel-aged beers. Almost 15 years after its inception, Ballast Point Brewing’s dedicated team of craftsmen (and women) is still innovating, trying new methods and ingredients. Real beer lovers making real good beer. Stone Brewing was named "All-time Top Brewery on Planet Earth" by BeerAdvocate magazine in 2008 and 2009. "The most popular and highest rated brewery – ever!"
