As if we need more proof that the craft beer movement is sweeping through the Bay Area, now one of the most remote areas of the Peninsula has a brewery.
The 6-month-old Devil's Slide Taproom in Pacifica's Pedro Point Shopping Center is a thoroughly family-run operation, with husband-and-wife team Shane and Theresa Nolen at the helm. They've created a family-friendly craft beer bar with good wholesome eats, where the beer geeks nerd out on Altamont Beer Works' Mac Drizzle Dub Red IPA and the kids can have a grilled cheese on Texas toast with both cheddar and Monterey Jack.
The restaurant's menu of solid casual fare is what you want while watching March Madness and soaking up the Habañero Sculpin IPA or something else from the 29 taps. Nearly everything is made in-house, from the sausages to the blue cheese dressing to the pickles.
Along with the fish and chips and the fried chicken sandwich with ginger savoy coleslaw and cilantro pesto, the headliners from chef Steve Moran are the charbroiled Taproom Burger and the pulled pork sandwich, which is marinated overnight in housemade barbecue sauce and served with vinegary slaw.
There's no need to wait for a trip to the beach to make the journey to Pacifica's new gathering spot. But after taking the beautiful yet nerve-racking drive north along Highway 1 and seeing the light at the end of the Devil's Slide tunnel, yes, you certainly deserve some sliders and a good beer.
