Show 412, February 13, 2021: Sara O’Shea, General Manager at Golden Road Pub – Anaheim

Sara O'Shea of Golden Road Pub OC in Anaheim

General Manager Sara O’Shea was part of the opening team for the Golden Road Pub Anaheim (also a production brewery) located across the street from the E. Orangewood Ave., southern entrance t Angel Stadium. A highlight of the operation is their large outdoor Biergarden (with shade) which is again welcoming guests. Well-behaved canine friends can accompany their human parents.

The food is creatively elevated from the typical brew pub fare (there is a real chef (Henry) cooking in the kitchen) and there is always an intriguing variety of craft beers to sample. Think Korean Chicken Salad for openers along with Pork Belly Bahn Mi with sweet chili glaze.

Also on the extensive beer menu are eye-catching, limited production craft styles brewed right there that are exclusive to the Anaheim location. A current example is Happy Daze Double IPA with subtle flavors of candied berries, orange citrus and pineapple. It’s brewed with Southern Sublime hops from South Africa.

We’ll explore the menu with Sara and also find out how their “Big Game” viewing celebration went last Sunday afternoon.

Show 236, August 12, 2017: Brewmaster Victor Novak, Golden Road Brewing

Victor Novak and his Blueberry Mocha Stout from Golden Road BrewingWhen we last visited Victor Novak, the accomplished Brewmaster for Golden Road Brewing, he had just started brewing in Anaheim in a new facility located just across the street (E. Orangewood Ave.) from Angel Stadium. In addition to the existing Taproom a distinctive brewery restaurant and expansive outdoor beer garden are now moving toward completion.

In a fun historical footnote Victor and his brewmaster team are now brewing in Anaheim on the original 15- barrel brewing system that started Golden Road Brewing in their initial Atwater Village brewery (“The Campus”) in 2011.

The Anaheim Taproom is open 7 days a week. It features a rotating selection of 20 Golden Road styles and beer is also available to-go.

There is convenient & ample on-site parking. Here’s a great tip…On game-days at The Big A guests can park at Golden Road, partake of The Taproom and then walk across Orangewood to Angel Stadium.

Victor joins us in-studio with the effervescent update.
