Up to 59% Off Pints at Little Miss Brewing

From the Little Miss Brewing deal description:

As the newest arrival on San Diego's brewery scene, Little Miss Brewing has already made some noise that's even louder than the vintage bombs that inspired its logo and tap handles. That warplane motif extends to their beers, which include the signature Helldiver IPA, a pleasantly sour Berliner weisse and a toasty porter for the rare chilly evening. After enjoying a couple of brews, customers take home pint glasses with the logo from the brewery.

Where: Little Miss Brewing, 3514 Adams Ave., Adams North
Price: $24 (40% discount off regular price). Additional deals are available.
