Best Orange County Breweries To Take Dad On Father's Day

There's nothing quite like enjoying a beer with your dad - especially on Father's Day. With all the breweries that have popped up in Orange County, it's easier than ever to enjoy a good beer with your dad. Whatever style you and your dad prefer, you're likely to find it (as well as some good food) at these breweries.

Lost Winds Brewing Company
924 Calle Negocio, Suite C
San Clemente, CA 92673
(949) 361-5922

The beers are reason enough to take Dad to Lost Winds. Here you'll find well-made beers ranging in style from a saison to a stout. The prices are also pretty reasonable at around $6 per pint. In addition, you can take a Lost Winds beer home in a growler or a 32-ounce can. This is a great place for a dad with kids who are not of drinking age. While most breweries are only for people 21 and older, Lost Winds is very family-friendly (pet-friendly too). The kids can go to the mezzanine for board games and card games while dad has a beer or two.
