Ghost Town Brewing, Oakland CA

For various reasons, just Daria and I visited here for lunch, but we took a shocking amount of beer back to the house with us for later and to leave for future consumption.

Ghost Town has two locations; this one is newer, having taken over a previous BBQ restaurant, and supposedly has Metal Music piped in. Not so much … at least, not until after we’d been there for a while. But the beer and food were both well worth the visit!

I started with the Detached (a Hazy IPA) and finished with the Verlust (a Schwarzbier). The first was tasty; the second was far too malty after the IPA and should have been the first I tried. For food, I greatly enjoyed the Hammer Smashed Patty with fries. The final picture in this series is just part of what we took home with us; I particularly liked both the Jove’s Fire and the Unseen Village.

This would definitely be a go-to spot if I lived near there!
