Mendocino Brewing Company

Finding Mendocino Brewing's tasting room was a bit of a challenge. We drove to their brewery but there were no signs showing where to enter. Finally, a man raking gravel in front said we had to go back towards where we came from; the tasting room is in a strip mall about half a mile off. The tasting room was set up like a bar with a pool table and all, but not that attractive. It is a challenge to make such a place attractive in a strip mall. Given the not-so-attractive atmosphere, we limited ourselves to trying 4 samplers. Here are my impressions: Black Hawk Stout - good, but standard stout White Hawk Select IPA - very average Butte Creek Porter - Sweet and tasty. The best of the four. Talon Double IPA - too strong
