Beer Notes: An old-timey feel on tap in Glendale
As the L.A. area’s beer scene continues to grow, the Glendale Tap makes a compelling argument that Glendale could be its ground zero. After all, the Glendale Tap is just a short drive to two of that city’s most respected breweries.
What
Glendale Tap is a reversal of trends. The city has had no shortage of craft beer spots opening up, with many of them falling into the fancy-pants gastro-pub category complete with a burger that comes equipped with Gruyère cheese. At Glendale Tap, there are peanut shells on the floor, and you can get a pretzel heated up. Though only about 6 months old, Glendale Tap feels lived in. “We wanted to re-create a bar that maybe your dad or granddad went to. We want it to have an old look,” said co-owner Glyn Samuel.
