ØL Beercafe & Bottle Shop is only a few months old, tucked away on Giammona Drive in Walnut Creek, next to Skipolini’s Pizzeria. This place takes their beer very seriously. You can even check out exactly what’s on tap online.
This is just part of their beer selection. “100s of bottles, 18 taps”. Focusing on independent brewers, they offer both domestic and foreign, with a particular focus on Belgium brews. When I inquired about Lambics the bartender showed me at least 5 different types of Lambic.
In addition to beer, they offer cheese plates, and other small dishes. You can even order a Skipolini’s pizza right from your table. The bartender also mentioned if you bring in a bagged lunch from outside they’ll take $1 off a draft. Sounds like a good deal for office workers nearby.
If you’re wondering why Walnut Creek, it turns out one of the owners of the highly regarded Oakland bar The Trappist lives in Walnut Creek. Anyone check this place out yet?
