Charcuterie Platter ($15) is from TusCA and includes salami, coppa, prosciutto, burrata, fontina, brie, whole grain mustard, pickles, fig jam, and honey comb. Brie and burrata pair nicely with the honey comb and fig jam. The cured meats have an earthy aroma with a luxurious melt-in-your-mouth texture. The platter pairs well with the OC Brew House Blonde. Rating: 5/5 OC Brew House Blonde by Golden Road Brewery ($6.75) is a clean and crisp blonde ale brewed especially for OC Bew House (4.8% ABV, 25 IBU). Tasting notes: Easy drinking; light, clean, and crisp; subtle hoppy flavor. It doesnt lose any of its flavor when paired with the Charcuterie platter nor does it interfere with the hearty flavors of the meats and cheeses. Rating: 4.5/5 Blackened Skuna Bay Salmon Sandwich ($18) is topped with chipotle aioli and cole slaw atop a brioche bun and served with sweet potato fries. The salmon is succulent and tender. The blackened Cajun flavor works well with the salmon for a spicy kick without being overpowering. The brioche bun is buttery with a soft interior but is still sturdy enough to stand up to all the juices cascading from the sandwich elements. Try pairing with the Karl Straus Amber. Rating: 4.5/5 Karl Strauss Amber ($7) is made with Munich Malts and Cascade Hops with Karl Strauss proprietary yeast to create an exceptionally smooth Session Amber Ale (4.5 ABV, 18 IBU). Tasting notes: Heavier than most reds; Pairs well with the Blackened Skuna Bay Salmon Sandwich. It plays off of the Cajun flavor of the salmon and the sweet potato fries balances out the slight bitterness of the beer. Rating: 4.5/5 Stout Braised Brisket Sandwich ($16) is made with Belching Beaver Stout braised brisket, peppers, onions, horseradish cream, and provolone served atop a French baguette with green bean fries. If the West Coast had an official version of a cheesesteak sandwich, this would be it. The brisket is tender and has all the rich beefy flavor of braised short rib. The stout adds a rich, toasted coffee flavor to the mix. Ask for lots of napkins as this sandwich is a hot mess of deliciousness. It could probably use more bell peppers and onions to enhance the flavor contrasts. The baguette holds up well to the juicy meat and sauce. The green bean fries are amazing - crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside. Definitely pair this with the Belching Beaver Brewerys Beavers Milk. Rating: 4.7/5 Belching Beaver Brewery Beavers Milk ($7) is a frothy and silky milk stout with strong notes of coffee (5.3% ABV, 30 IBU). Tasting notes: Herbaceous; big bites on the front and back of the palate; roasted coffee notes on the back end; pairs well with the Stout Braised Brisket Sandwich as it smooths out the flavor in the beer. Rating: 4/5 Fish & Chips ($14.50) is Hangar 24 Orange Wheat beer batter cod served with house made tartar sauce. The batter is almost hush puppy-like. It could be a tad lighter for a crispier texture. The beer infusion adds a slight sweetness to the succulent fish inside. The fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This pairs well with Hangar 24 Orange Wheat. Rating: 3.8/5 Hangar 24 Orange Wheat ($7) is crisp and tangy, and refreshing and uses local oranges in this wheat ale to give each drinker a fresh-off-the-grove experience (4.6% ABV, 17 IBU). Tasting notes: Fruity, citrus notes pair well with the fish. Citrus flavor permeates through the palate. This would also pair nicely with a summer salad littered with berries or other fruit. Rating: 3.8/5

This place is conveniently located in the Hyatt. Usually a place like this gives the impression of lower expectations. We ordered their California Burger with fries and Parmesan garlic wings. They used a grade A lean burger - you notice the quality as soon as it hit your palet. It was set on a bed of arugula and avocado. The brioche bun was perfectly grilled with butter. It was one lean burger. Some burgers cause you to be overwhelmed by the fat - with this burger you were hit a sense of quality which enabled you to pickup on all the flavor actions. Their Parmesan wings were slamming. Nothing soggy, or greasy - just a nice crunchy hit. This place is super convenient, open late with fair pricing.

This place has great tiki drinks but the prices are high. I think its worth it though for a fun night out in town. Everyone is dressed in Polynesian theme and the drinks have a good amount of alcohol. Our server wasnt very attentive and we couldnt find her when we needed the check. We ordered the thai wings and the middle was somewhat cold still.

Needed a quiet place to chill after a day in the DLP….the OC Brewhouse was the ticket. ICED Cold Stella was what the doctor ordered, as well as the Pizza and Patti Melt on Sourdough. We enjoyed this on two separate occasions after full days enjoying the Disney Parks.
