Come on by for a pour of my personal favorite beer on draft! Mike Hess Brewing’s Grazias, a Vienna Cream Ale (5.50%). It’s a ‘no travel needed’ trip to Vienna in a pilsner glass. Smoother than Don Juan but not too sweet; I’ll drink it with just about anything. If you’re doing the liquid diet this should keep your belly happy, but if you’re hungry, be sure to try any of our delicious new menu items. Oh, and don’t forget our Hoppy Hour is Monday-Thursday 3pm-6pm! Come see me at The Iron press Costa Mesa and have a taste of Grazias for yourself! Yours truly, Michelle (aka: Pocahopness)
