Chapter One in Santa Ana went Punk Rock. Well, at least for one night they did. Wednesday, January 11th special guest Beer Punks out of Fullerton were there in full force as they co-hosted a night dedicated to Craft Beer, intense gourmet food and punk rock jams. Co-hosts Lost Coast Brewery also donated kegs to help Chapter One and Beer Punks raise money for KidWorks, a charity out of Santa Ana dedicated to working with children in communities with high crime rates, poverty and violence.
Chapter One’s “Beer Punks” night offered LIVE MUSIC by Beer Punks’ own DJ Clutchie, spinning the sounds of The Clash, The Jam, Elvis Costello, Operation Ivy and more as well as Live acoustic performances by Buddy Harris of The Darlings and Joey Larocca from The Briggs.
The event was the second “live event” for the increasingly popular Beer Punks group who host a weekly podcast called “Beer Punks Pitcast” (available free on itunes). The Beer Punks are responsible for some great interviews with punk bands such as Jim Lindberg of Pennywise and their “Brewery of the Month” video interviews.
The popular new gastro pub known for their superb selection of craft beers and out-of-this-world menu offerings make it quite obvious why they have become an OC hotspot for craft beer enthusiast’s. Owners Jeff Jenson, Tim O’Conner and Jeff Hall’s (formerly of Haven Gastro Pub) vision for Chapter one is to build a community destination which they refer to as “The Local”; a term widely used throughout European communities to describe their neighborhood watering holes and hang outs. Beer Punks believe they have nailed it! The design of the bar and dining room are warm and welcoming. They offer a unique setting to groups of all sizes. Pull up to the bar, grab a tall table with bar height chairs or a small table near the window to take in some “people watching” in Downtown Santa Ana’s nightlife. Offering 12 rotating craft beers on tap and a bottle selection of over 50 rare and tasty brew’s paired with what can only be described as culinary art from Head Chef; Oge Dalken, Chapter One is a “local” you’re going to want to familiarize yourself with!
