We recently enjoyed food and libations at Yeast of Eden, a new restaurant and brewery which recently opened in the Carmel Plaza. The hotspot is quickly gaining recognition for its unique sour beers, crafted using a mixed-culture approach with varieties of brewer’s yeast, native yeasts, and lactic acid. This process distinguishes their beers because it provides a tart flavor and a sense of terroir. If you aren’t in the mood for spirits, Y.O.E. offers a full bar with specialty house cocktails featuring top-shelf liquors. We’re also quite taken by their menu; with an Asian and Latin-American inspired slant, dinner service begins nightly at 5 PM. We thoroughly enjoyed the Szechuan cauliflower, glazed Saigon chicken wings, and the spicy green papaya salad. The tacos were worth writing home about – served on handmade tortillas, they offer tasty fish, carnitas, lamb, steak, and smoked mushroom taco plates. In all, we are impressed and happy to welcome the addition to the neighborhood. Head over for Happy Hour; locals and tourists alike are catching on and we hope to see you there! Our local real estate market had a productive week – we had 6 closed escrows (3 in Pebble Beach, 3 in Carmel) and 14 new sales (4 in Pebble, 10 in Carmel).
