BarrelHouse
Brewing Co. Speakeasy is the San Luis Obispo outpost of the Paso Robles-based BarrelHouse Brewing Co.
The smallish
taproom is located in a basement below Mike's Barber Shop, half a
block down from the Mission. Just find the stairs on the left side of the barber
chairs, and head on down. The interior is dimly lit, with old brick walls and a
ceiling of old wood, pipes, and rusty cast iron beams.
There are seats
for six people or so at the bar and maybe 30 at small tables and on one big
sofa. A shuffleboard game table sits at one end, and along one wall there is a small
cooler full of bombers and six packs for sale.
There were about
20 customers on an early Thursday evening in mid-February, and it was a bit
noisy.
16 taps, all of
them BarrelHouse Brewing Co. beers, and including a selection of sour and wild
ales (Salvaje de Robles series) and non-sour barrel-aged beers (Reservado de
Robles series).
Variable
pricing for taster sets, glasses, 32oz. growlers, and 64oz. growlers.
Tasting flights consist of five 4oz. glasses.
No food, except
for popcorn.
This is a not a
bad place to stop when in town. The beer was good to very good, and included a
fair range of styles.
