1415 Pine St, Walnut Creek

It’s been a long time coming but the Walnut Creek brewery Farm Creek Brewing Company finally opened over the weekend. An American lager, pale ale and amber ale are currently available including a 32 ounce take home crowler can. (Check the photos after the jump for the crowler-making process). The amber ale “Favorite Daughter” I tried has a bold yet smooth flavor that tasted amazing. The inside has various seating and standing areas including a couple of rocking chairs which is a nice touch. Check for updates on their Facebook page here and their website here.

More photos of the inside after the jump…

Now that we know that Broadway Plaza will soon start charging for parking at their downtown Walnut Creek garages (after 2 hours), there is a already petition to boycott the plaza for the new policy. Apparently some employers will pay for their employees parking and some won’t.

Do you think Broadway Plaza employers should pay for their employees parking?
