Two For One Suburban Beer Bars - Phileas fog and Brother's Provisions- San Diego California




I've been busy traveling across the western US in search of the most interesting, and sometimes most surprising places to consume great bear.  This time, I decided to blog about two great bars close to home.




Phileas Fog

Atmosphere - Laid back "Football" Pub
Staff - Friendly
Food- NA
Beer - Decent Craft on Tap, A lot of good English and English Style Bottles available
Toilet - Adequate
WMIS* - If you enjoy soccer, this is where you should watch                  it.  If you enjoy playing darts, this iswhere you                          should throw.



The owners are very friendly.  I've only been here when it's pretty quiet but the place looks ideal for watching American, or Non-American Football games.

Brothers Provisions

Atmosphere - Deli meets bottle store. Good for family and great outdoor patio.
Staff - Friendly and knowledgable
Food- Deli and smoked meats.  AWESOME!
Beer - A huge selection of bottles for carry out and always a good rotating draft list.
Toilet - Adequate
WMIS* - This is where I pick up my beers for the LXB swap                  club. I always smell like smoked meat when I                         leave...in a good way.  One time I almost ate my                      shirt.

I've been here many times and taken my time shopping for bottles with a craft draft in hand.  The wife and boy have joined a few times as well. Just thinking about the cabinet smoker makes my mouth water.
