National Drink Beer Day

National Drink Beer Day: 9 Pubs to Celebrate Beer’s Big Day in SLO County

National Drink Beer Day falls on Saturday, September 28 this year, the perfect day to crack open a cold one (or two!) and celebrate one of the best national days of the year.

There is a lot of great beer to drink in San Luis Obispo County (like these nine we featured for National IPA Day) , but for National Drink Beer Day we focused on pubs around the county that not only have great beer, but incredible food to help soak it up with.

Make sure to check out nine of the many pubs we love around SLO County, and don’t forget to raise a glass with a great beer on Saturday! (and of course be of age and drink responsibly!)

Blast 825 is known for their wide selection of wood-fired pizzas, but they also have just as many beers on tap to go with them.
