About
As San Diego's first and only Brewery/Winery/Restaurant, we pride ourselves on putting everything we have into the things we do and push the boundaries of creative products to share with our guests. Our beers are focused on drinkability, merging inspirational flavors from our restaurant and winery to create one of a kind products. Our tasting room is attached to our restaurant, The Cork and Craft. We're open every day except for Monday, including lunch during the work week, and brunch on Sundays. We not only offer our own beers on tap, but many other guest beers from around the world that we share our 40 taps with. We feature flights of our own beers which can be enjoyed in the bar, restaurant or on our heated outdoor patio. Come in for the beer, stay for the food, and discover your Abnormal side.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter piney hops, biscuity malt and some alcohol. Flavour is intense but somehow easy to drink, with intense piney hops, bitter pine cones, and biscuity malt. The alcohol is apparent but somehow fitting. Not too sweet, with wonderful hop character. Lovely.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a hazy pinkish peachy colour with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of hibiscus, a touch of citrus and a touch of spiciness. Flavour is surprisingly dynamic, with bright hibiscus, with some citrus and a little raspberry. Surprisingly interesting for the style. Good stuff.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a cloudy bright golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hop oils, some astringent pine cone, and citrus rind.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out tropical pithy stone fruits, dank hops, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and dank, with a wonderful tropical fruity character, moderately dank hops, and juicy citrus. Man, if all hazies were like this, I'd be in love with the style. Brilliantly balanced and constructed all round. Wonderful.
