Ale Arsenal

Features 24 rotating taps and two nitrogen dispensed beer taps.

Ale Arsenal makes browsing the beer list a reason to stop on Laurel Street in San Carlos. Its rotating taps sit alongside bottles and cans that can be enjoyed there or taken home. We like the emphasis on discovery, with independent breweries and different beer styles giving a group something to compare beyond the usual familiar brands. The published selection includes American and hazy IPAs as well as pale ales, with breweries such as Grains of Wrath, Fort George, Ghost Town, and Cellarmaker represented. Because the lineup rotates, individual beers are part of an evolving selection rather than a permanent promise. Ale Arsenal's appeal is that focused beer-bar approach: choose a style you already enjoy, explore a brewery you have not tried, or pick up something different for later.
