Default Best Beer at Staples Center

OK I have tried a lot of the beers at Staples like the Heferweisen or whatever it is and the Sam Adams and even the bottled beers but I think I've found the best one available. If you go to the Pasta Guy (which coincidentally is the best fast food at Staples) and look at the rear wall, there is a tap for Red Hook ESB. I tried it last night and it was perfect! Not to dark like Guinness and not too light like the Heferweisen (sp?). This is a dark brown hoppy beer that is very satisfying and surprisingly tasty for an arena experience!

Try one!!

you mean you've never had a Red Hook ESB?

I think the best beer I've ever had at Staples by far was Sierra Nevada's Draught Style PA at Jody Maroni's upstairs. I had it on opening night last week. it was very crisp, full bodied and delicious.

unfortunately, it's not there anymore, as of last night.

Depends on my palette.

ESB some nights, Firestone others, Newcastle from the Skybox when I don't want to trek.

I have tried it before but never on tap at Staples.
I think it's the perfect beer for the game.

The best beer I ever had at Staples was so good that I drank too many of them and now I can't remember which beer it was I was drinking. Does that make any sense?

Lat year I found Pilsner Urquell on tap near 106. I may look for it on Tuesday. It's a great beer out of the bottle and even better on tap.

Their brewery is in Woodinville about 12 miles from my home here. I love that place.

Heres a picture of the place. It has a good restaurant there as well as the fresh beer.

Do they still have Firestone Double Barrel Ale? That wins my vote.

after having the Red Hook ESB, I still say the SN DS PA is/was the best beer at Staples.

in leiu of that, Red Hook ESB is the next best thing.
