Take it from the tap: An Eppig adventure

June 28, 2018 5 PM PT

Go: Eppig Waterfront Biergarten

Know: Two-year-old Eppig Brewing’s home base is in North Park, but its Point Loma outpost is the summer go-to. It’s a sweet place to catch bay breezes pierside, while sipping German-style brews such as zwickelbier. Check out PACIFIC’s Day Drinking Facebook Live recorded at Eppig, here.

Pro: Co-owner Stephanie Eppig is descended from Leonhard Eppig, who co-founded the original Eppig Brewery in Brooklyn in 1866.

Glow: There’s outdoor and indoor seating, but the entire place — in and out — is bathed in sunshine. You’ll want to linger, so slather on the SPF 50.

Swallow: Sandwiches and chips are usually available here, and this is a regular food truck destination. Still hungry? Stroll next door to Point Loma Seafoods.

Peter joined The San Diego Union-Tribune in 1984. A native Californian who grew up in Encinitas, Rowe is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Northwestern University. He is past president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and a former Fulbright scholar. He has won a few journalism awards, but would trade them all for a chance to avenge his 1994 “Jeopardy!” loss. Married to a terrific woman who has saved him from errors in writing and in life, he has three sons. At the U-T, Rowe writes profiles and features and is even paid to review beers, which hardly seems fair.
