father’s day is just around the corner, and like many people striving to find a gift beyond generic #1 dad merchandise, you probably can’t stand to scroll through one more online gift guide. so instead of giving your dad something that will clutter up his space, why not give him an experience he’ll remember forever, like a special meal in a classic beachy san diego setting?
bottlecraft in solana beach now features delicious food offerings from big front door, including gourmet sandwiches, smoked wings, spicy chili, a variety of deli sides, and more. our food is the perfect accompaniment for bottlecraft’s 20 beers available on tap, or the hundreds of bottles available to drink in or take to go.
while all fathers have their own individual tastes, and sandwich and craft beer preferences vary, here are some pairing suggestions we think your dad might like, depending on which classic tv dad he resembles the most:
while all fathers have their own individual tastes, and sandwich and craft beer preferences vary, here are some pairing suggestions we think your dad might like, depending on which classic tv dad he resembles the most:
homer simpson from the simpsons
bumbling through life with a heart of gold, homer simpson might not be a model dad, but he always does what’s right in the end—and he’ll also do anything for a donut. if your dad is homer-esque, he’ll love the bacony bbq goodness of the keeper sandwich, loaded with chicken breast, bacon, cheddar, jalapeno and bbq sauce on ciabatta. the strong flavors of the keeper pairs perfectly with a stout like the prairie bomb, featuring notes of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and ancho chiles.
walter white from breaking bad
if your dad is a visionary with the best intentions, even when things get a little out of hand, he might like the loins of fire sandwich, inspired by walter white’s hometown of albuquerque, new mexico. with chili roast pork loin, poblano peppers, pickled onion and hot sauce on a torpedo roll, the loins of fire pairs nicely with a strong ipa like big mother from local brewery mother earth. this triple ipa has a 10.8% abv, an intoxicating intensity that would certainly impress “heisenberg.”
al bundy from married with children
al bundy is a simple man with simple tastes, and he’s managed to craft a decent life for himself and his family even though he never lived up to his high school glory days. if your dad is anything similar, he’ll enjoy the basic but delicious club sandwich, featuring turkey, bacon, and all the standard fixings on sourdough bread. the club pairs nicely with a smooth pale ale like alesmith orange x, an extra pale ale with a hint of oranges.
danny tanner from full house
a neat-freak single dad as famous for his life lessons as he is for his stain-removal prowess, danny tanner would love the california-inspired avocado highway sandwich, featuring stacked avocado, roma tomato, lettuce and parmesan crisp on a torpedo roll. and if your dad would love it too, he’ll enjoy it paired with a rich hefeweizen like craftsman heavenly hefe, an unfiltered wheat brew with notes of banana and clove.
philip banks from fresh prince of bel air
while philip banks was “uncle phil” the show’s title character, he was also the stern but loving father of three semi-spoiled kids and a court judge with no patience for nonsense. if your dad has the same strict teddy bear tendencies, he’ll enjoy the turkey & cheddar mousse sandwich, a delicious twist on a standard. featuring turkey, smoked cheddar mousse, and a variety of fixings on whole grain bread, this sandwich pairs wonderfully with a pale lager like lost abbey’s munich-style road to helles lager.
dine in or picnic out this father’s day with bottlecraft and big front door
the best part of the bottlecraft-bfd collaboration is the flexibility to plan a father’s day celebration specific to your own dad’s tastes. whether you try one of our pairing suggestions or devise your own, you also have the option of dining in or taking your meal to go, and bottlecraft is just steps away from a picnic-perfect beach.
