Description
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.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is liquorice, ripe fruits, hazelnuts, mild coffee and cinnamon. Flavour is liquorice, cinnamon, some pecan and hazel nuts, mild alcohol sweetness and a gentle touch of vanilla as well. A bit boozy, but still a very nice sipper.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of orange juice, orange rind, and resinous hops. Flavour is similar, with resinous hops, orange rind, orange juice, and seltzery notes. Sweet and orangey finish. Doesn't have the hop power I want or the body to support the hops. Not great.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very dank, with melon, pot-like hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is clumsy, with tangy hops, some seltzery notes, and moderate dankness. Very seltzery palate, with a grainy finish. Not great.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma is mineraly, with sweet malt and toasted grains — nothing resembling a proper alt. Flavour has a very light malt character, with tons of mineraly notes. This isn't on point at all. Nothing egregious but this is way off-style.

Tap at the Marriot Marina Marquis. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma of banana and clove. Medium body. Flavor matches aroma. Style is nailed.

12oz can pours dark brown almost black topped with a tan head. Nose is nice big roast coffee some chocolate. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate rich roast coffee notes and a nice finish.
