For some spirited Sun God imbibery, visit Porter’s Pub in the Student Center for its laid-back atmosphere and extensive beer selection.
Here are some of the lesser known beers that can be drafted at the pub:
Shark Bite Red
Brewed by Pizza Port, a Solana Beach brewery, Shark Bite Red is a is a typical red ale, bitter and strong.
Arrogant Bastard Ale
A San Marcos-based Stone Brewery creation, Arrogant Bastard Ale is a dark and very strong ale with a high alcohol content.
Widmer Bros. Heffeweisen
This is a light and wheaty domestic brew. It is unfiltered, therefore a little cloudy, and is served with a floating lemon slice.
Ayinger Celebrator
Brewed in Germany’s Bavaria region, this “”doppelbock,”” German for “”double bock,”” is dark and intense, but with a smooth finish characteristic of Bavarian brews.
Lindeman’s Framboise
This flavored beer is from Belgium, and is known as a raspberry lambic. It has a light, crisp and clean taste. Fresh raspberry juice is added just after fermentation to boost the flavor.
Caffrey’s Irish Ale
Well known in Irish pubs, Caffrey’s is a creamy brew. Its texture is virtually identical to that of Guinness, but it is bright yellow in color, lighter in taste and even creamier.
Diebel’s Alt
This ale is very popular in Germany, where it is brewed. It is a darker brew — brown in color — with a malty finish and a slight hint of creaminess.
