Estancia La Jolla kicks off five-part barrel series

Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa will bring delectable scotch and beer to its hacienda-style resort on Friday, Feb. 2, an event that will kick off the 2018 “By the Barrel” five-part series.

Attendees of the inaugural sold-out part of the series will have access to unlimited tastings from the Estancia culinary team’s hand-selected drinks, which feature Macallan single malt whiskies and barrel-aged beers from Ballast Point. During each course of the family-style dinner will be a scotch and beer pairing.

Ambassadors from Ballast Point and Macallan will be at a sip and speak during the welcome reception, where guests can learn more about the featured drinks.
