Review of Cultivate Brewing Company

Being a San Diego native, I'm ashamed to say that the first time I've been to this brewery - was at this location, haha. However, I will say that their happy hour is a steal!

Monday - Friday 3PM-6PM $5 beers, bites AND flights! Came here with a couple co-workers for happy hour. Couple things I tried:

- DOUBLE TRUFFLE FRIES
Everything about these fries are perfect. Loved the fresh garlic and rosemary - was perfect with the truffle aioli!

- DUCK FAT PRETZEL BITES
These were a-ok for pretzel bites. I couldn't really tell with the duck fat, seemed like regular pretzel bites to me, a bit more done and brown than I liked.

- BERRY-APPLE CRISP
I had very high hopes for this. But turns out the mix of berries (blueberry, raspberry, strawberry and blackberries) with apple, just wasn't as appealing as it sounded. Quite messy too.

- BEERAMISU
Ok, this was lit. I'm not a crazy fan of tiramisu, but this was so good! So good that, I can't even remember eating it 'cause we went in on this dessert - a definite must try!

I had a couple beers that night since we were watching the Dodger game, but the beer that stood out to me personally was the queen of tarts. Great atmosphere and great location, ample parking. Will return.
