Raise a glass to toast the co-founder and namesake of San Diego's Karl Strauss Brewing Company, who passed away in late 2006 at age 94. The former Pabst brewmeister's foamy legacy is in good hands, though, in cousin and company co-founder Chris Cramer. The several area Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant locations are known for their inviting atmosphere, top-flight brews and stellar bar food — many recipes utilize beer as an ingredient. The extensive menu conveniently matches foods to specific beers. The Karl Strauss Amber Lager, for instance, pairs with wood-oven barbecue chicken pizza, the Portobello sandwich or beer-brined pork chops.
Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
"Beer influence is everywhere. Filet mignon has an Amber Lager glaze. Ribs boast a Red Trolley Ale barbecue sauce."
