22 Pints for $22

Yup, that's right. 22 pints of beer for only $22. Plus, enough food to feed 7 people for only $25 more dollars!

As mentioned previously, Pyramid Brewery was launching a new brew, "Curveball," and I was there to reap the benefits. To celebrate the new brew, Pyramid was serving Curveball pints for only $1 and to top it off, it was college night, so all appetizers were buy one, get one half off.

We ordered an array of appetizers - spinach and artichoke dip, fried calamari, coconut shrimp skewers, cheese and spinach quesadilla, onion strings and sweet potato fries. The appetizers weren't all that great, but it was good to munch on some fried food while drinking beer.

Speaking of beer, Curveball was actually pretty good. It's a golden light ale, very easy to drink.

I can't wait until Pyramid produces another new brew. I'll be there to drink more $1 pints.

Pyramid Brewery

After the festival, we headed to Pyramid Brewery in Berkeley. It's huge! The building is amazing with its industrial beams and warehouse-style. I think the Berkeley location is its headquarters, why else would it be so massive?

We started off with the Cajun crab dip with crostini. It was super creamy with a lot of crab, but a tad too spicy for me.

I felt like I was eating a lot of bad food, so I ordered a chopped salad. I know, I know. A salad with beer? I should be getting burger and fries! Meh. I was hoping the salad would be similar to the one I had in Vegas two years ago (see post). Sadly, it was no where close to Wolfgang Puck's and this one was over dressed (even though I said light on the dressing!) and bland.

For beer, I got the Hef - light, refreshing with a little wheat flavor. Delicious.

Pyramid Breweries also has tours in all their locations. I've never been on a beer tour and I'm hoping to check it out one day.

As we were leaving, we noticed Pyramid was launching a new brew called "Curveball" on Thursday. As a promotion, they'll be serving Curveball pints for only $1!! How can I past an opportunity to have $1 beer? I'll definitely be back on Thursday. :)
