The Iron Press at Anaheim Packing House
Waffles + beer = your answer to A.M. IPA’s with a tasty waffle pairing for those extra carbohydrates. The Iron Press, situated on the top floor of the Anaheim Packing House, the waffle sandwich and local brews bar will be featuring a selection of green beers (and ciders) from their lineup of 25 rotating taps. Hoppy Hour will be all day too, with discounts on beer and bar bites for the green-cladded!
