Red Sash keeps it simple and solid. Expect a rotating tap list with IPAs, lagers, stouts, sours, and their standout California Common. No flashy gimmicks, just well-made beer for all palates. While they don’t serve ciders, seltzers, or NA options, their flagship offerings are crowd-pleasers. Don’t miss the California Common, a smooth, toasty amber that regulars swear by.
