Rod and Hammer’s SLO Stills<br />

Craft Beer<br />

& Beyond<br />

SLO County has been on the craft beer map for decades, thanks to pioneering breweries such<br />

as Firestone Walker, SLO Brew and Central Coast Brewing. They’ve been joined in recent<br />

years by a new crop <strong>of</strong> small-batch brewers pumping out wild ales, hoppy hazies, lively lagers,<br />

boozy stouts and more in spaces that range from bare bones to family entertainment center.<br />

Like to get down while you sip your suds? Spots like SLO Brew Rock and Bang the Drum<br />

regularly host some <strong>of</strong> the best bands from near and far at their outdoor venues.<br />

Local spirits, mixers and craft cocktails, many with ties to the local wine and beer industry,<br />

have also joined the mix, providing yet another way to drink local when you’re in town.<br />

Old-fashioned with local whisky and bitters? Mai Tai with local rum and lime juice? Just the<br />

tip <strong>of</strong> the oversized ice cube for SLO’s master mixologists.<br />

Cannabis culture has also come on the scene, with dispensaries in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Luis</strong> <strong>Obispo</strong>, Morro<br />

Bay and Grover Beach. Offerings and vibe vary, but they all have welcoming budtenders<br />

eager to help you sort your options.<br />
