No Red States or Blue States. Only Brew States.

American Craft Beer Week is NOT a political celebration, but it's definitely more than just a good party! This week is really about raising our glass in appreciation of great brews we are proud to drink and serve. What's so exciting is that American Craft Beer Week will be celebrated with events in all 50 states, making it the largest-ever celebration of U.S. craft brewers! From May 13-19, new beer lovers and seasoned enthusiasts are invited to explore American craft beers -- find your favorite IPA, amber, stout—or anything in-between—to honor the more than 1,700 small and independent craft brewers responsible for the American craft beer scene.

Haven Gastropub Managing Partner & Beverage Director, Wil Dee, oversees a great beer program filled with American craft beers on tap and in the bottle. This week, we'll be sharing some of our featured beers at Haven Gastropub in Orange HERE, Haven Gastropub +Brewery in Pasadena HERE, and taco asylum in Costa Mesa HERE.

Finally, a reason to wake up early on the weekend! Haven Gastropub has added a new dining experience for our guests – breakfast! Our Old Towne Orange restaurant now opens at 9 a.m. every Saturday and Sunday to offer guests a breakfast menu that reflects our unique blend of old world European fare with a modern American twist. Guests will have the option to order off the menu from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every weekend, with the regular lunch menu still offered at 11 a.m. A full bar will also be available to guests looking to enjoy unique morning cocktails, and Haven Gastropub serves Portola Coffee Lab and a selection of teas.

On Thursday, May 2nd, we will be joined by a very special guest at Haven Gastropub in Orange. Dave Logsdon, the man behind Logsdon Farmhouse Ale, will be visiting us from Hood River, Oregon. At 6 p.m. that evening, we will be offering guests flights of select Logsdon beers and the opportunity to learn about our special guest's rich history in the industry. Dave Logsdon founded WYeast Laboratories in 1985, which became one of the top yeast companies in the world. He then went on to co-found Full Sail Brewing Company in Hood River, Oregon, where he served as brewmaster for 7 years before founding Logsdon Farmhouse Ales.

At 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 2nd, we'll offer flights (5 oz. each) of the following beers:

Seizoen Bretta (keg)
OAK-Aged Seizoen Bretta (keg)
Far West Vlaming (keg)
Kili Wit (bottles)
Seizoen (bottles)

We will have a limited number of flights, so it will be first come, first served. Once we are done pouring flights we will open up the beer on draught to 10 oz. pours for the remainder of the evening. Note: because we have an keg and a case of Seizon Bretta, guests will have the option to buy full bottles all night.

Stay tuned for news about food pairings for the event!

Haven Gastropub in Orange now serves house made sodas, available to order any time. Flavors will rotate, and selections will be available until they run out.

When our Provisions location opens up the street, we plan to bottle these and sell them with other rotated flavors -- who knows, we may also offer them on tap!

Lavender Cream Soda - this combination of Tahitian vanilla bean and lavender makes for a delicious cream soda.  Sweet, but not cloyingly so, the vanilla provides a roundness that truly brings the cream soda flavor to the forefront.
 
Chamomile Soda - we added just a touch of lemon to chamomile tea in this one, which is the most refreshing and light of the three current offerings.
 
Spiced Cherry Cola - we used dried Rainier cherries and brown sugar for a full flavored cola.  The addition of star anise, Portola coffee beans,and guajillo chile peppers take this one over the top.

Sodas are available for $3 (sorry, no free refills).

Come check them out!

On Wednesday, April 3rd, Haven Gastropub in Orange will feature a few of Stone Brewing's recent releases on tap.

> Aleman/Two Brothers/Stone Collaboration DayMan Coffee IPA (available in bottles too)

> Stone 15th Anniversary - Aged in Highland Scotch Barrels

We'll have 'em while we have 'em! Come early and often!

This year, haven collective (Haven Gastropub in Old Towne Orange, Haven Gastropub +Brewery in Old Pasadena, and taco asylum at the Camp in Costa Mesa) will lead a team during Orange County's March of Dimes "March for Babies" on Sunday, April 28th. The organization's mission to a nation of stronger, healthier babies is one that has become dear to us over the past year and a half!

Our Executive Chef Greg Daniels and his wife, Abby, gave birth to Madeleine Daniels in December, 2011. Madeleine was born with several complications and spent more than a month in the NICU. While there, March of Dimes provided support and education to them. They offer a range of services, from small things, like phone chargers and snacks, to the more significant, such as infant CPR training for babies like Madeleine, who have had a tracheostomy.

March of Dimes asks nothing of parents for the services they provide.

Today, we are asking you to please join our walk as a member of Team haven collective.

FREE HAVEN BURGER!

On Monday, April 1st from Noon to 3 p.m. at Haven Orange, come meet Madeleine and sign up for our walk! When you sign up, we'll treat you to a complimentary Haven Burger for lunch that day!

If you are unable to join us on Sunday, April 28th, please support us with a secure donation by clicking the 'donate now' button on our page:
HAVEN COLLECTIVE MARCH FOR BABIES PAGE.

 

Your time and/or gift will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

why march for babies?
When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2 billion to benefit all babies.

look who’s walking!
This year, more than 7 million people will join their family, friends and colleagues in 900 communities across the nation. Our volunteers and staff will encourage and support you in your efforts to raise awareness and funds. No matter if this is your first year or your 25th, you can expect the event to be fun, compelling and rewarding.

Thank you in advance for your time.
