Comments (1) Best Beer Selection - 2008
Ye Olde Ship
Readers' Choice: Goat Hill Tavern, Costa Mesa
This fine pub made our list for Best Burger last year—Weekly staff are still arguing whether its kosher to even contemplate ordering the peppery Captain's Burger rather than fish and chips or black pudding at a British pub—but what really draws the crowd is the bar. Red-blooded, American Bud drinkers, be warned: Ye Olde Ship is not for you. The frothy, bitter ales, stouts and lagers this place serves up is to beer what single-malt scotch is to watered-down whiskey. We recommend London Pride, Boddington's and Guinness, in that order (as in, consecutively), while watching football on the flat-screen and ignoring that nasty pain in the gulliver you'll have in the morningtime, govnah.
