The Mid-Peninsula has a hidden yet interesting brewery scene, with cask ales, Asian pear pilsner and Kolsch awaiting in Redwood City and Belmont.
The Mid-Peninsula has a hidden yet interesting brewery scene, so for this month’s Bay Area brewery tour, I returned to take a closer look. (I’vethe Alpha Acid, Blue Oak and Devil’s Canyon breweries in San Carlos. This time, I headed for Redwood City and Belmont.Founded in 2012, this Redwood City brewery stands out for its British-style cask ales. The brewery was founded by four friends, including a Brit and a home brewer with a Ph.D.
After the original brewer, Malcolm McGinnis, died several years ago, the brewery began offering both modern keg beer and cask ale. The day I stopped by, they had three solid beers on cask: the English IPA, which had a delicate herbal nose with clean, balanced hop flavors; the Wenlock Stout, which was dry and roasty; and the Hugo Stout, a sweeter Jamaican-style dark ale.
Ghostwood’s beer are all clean and offer some unique twists on traditional styles. My favorite was the Asian Pear Pilsner, a crisp, tasty pils brewed with pear juice in collaboration with. I’d never had a fruit pilsner before, but the pear flavors are sublime, and I could easily imagine drinking this on a hot day.
