Neat place. Lots of stuff on the walls...beer mats, bottles, old ads, flags, TVs, etc. Lots of excellent guest beers, including Theakston's XB Bitter...a rare treat!
They used to brew their own beer here, but they removed their brewing equipment in 2007. Now Craftsman Brewing makes the Crown City beers.
Directions: From I-5, take I-210 to the "Old Pasadena" Colorado Avenue exit. Left on Colorado, right on Raymond. Crown City is on the left.

Yellow, some haze, good head and carbonation. Sweet wheat aroma. Tasty American wheat ale! They had the courage to actually use some bittering hops.
