One of My Faves - Blind Lady Ale House

Blind Lady Ale House (BLAH) - Normal Heights

Recently, a great establishment opened up in my area. Actually, it may be the perfect business to open up in Normal Heights!

Blind Lady Ale House is situated just east of the Normal Heights sign on Adams. It inhabits what was recently a French bakery and restaurant called A La Francaise.

This ale house is a godsend for beer aficionados. Beer consultant, brewer, hat model and all around good guy Lee Chase is one of the principals of this hot spot. And it shows!

The attention to detail in pouring the perfect glass of beer is evident from the pre-rinsing of every glass to touch beer to the pouring system to the appropriate pour level in the perfect glasses for that particular draft. But most of, the Ace selection of beer that Lee hand-picks for the bar.

The pub is warm in tones, child & family friendly, and offers the crowd a comfortable and clean environment. The crowd is diverse and db-factor (douchebag) is low. Unlike most brew-pubs in San Diego, BLAH is not a sausage party! The mix of men and women is more even than most.

They have listened to their customers and put in custom made made overhead, recycled acoustic panels that dampen the noise.

Out of the kitchen, BLAH offers up pizza, salads, cheese plates and other dishes. They are organic and local as much as possible. Prices are affordable and portions are reasonable.

Blind Lady Ale House - It's about the beer here!
