Beer

[Brandon]

Had that El Segundo Smokey Hollow. Not my cup of tea, but maybe you Porter heads will like it.

Went to Hamilton's Victory at Sea event yesterday in SD.  Was awesome!  They had 12 versions of it, my favorites were the 2012 and Cap'n Crunch.  Also went to Toronado and Monkey Paw.  Toronado had 53 IPAs on tap, and some casks.  My favorite at Toronado was the Sculpin with kiwi on cask.  Also had two new ones from Modern Times, they are doing some great stuff.  Was happy to finally try some of Monkey Paw's beers, Howler was fantastic.

If you're ever down to go to Toronado, I highly recommend visiting Bottle Craft, they have an outstanding selection.  I picked up more than a few beers to bring home yesterday, can't wait to try them.

Last night went to O'Brien's for rip current and kern river brewing (or "krb" as the girl in front of us in line called it, awesome initials) night, they had already run out of the leftover citra keg from the night before and the cask of it they had for that night. But we had:

Rip current-

Caught in a rip

Impact zone

Lupulin lust

In the curl

Vanilla storm

KRB-

Black rock

Just outstanding

Tonight we are going to Breakwater for their "meet the brewer" night, who is just the guy that is our bartender every Sunday. They have a really good IPA called DMJ

Not to burst your bubble but the girl is wrong. The initials are KRBC.

KRB's Co.

Now you will think of me when you drink it.

[St1ck]

Growlers stay fresh for quite awhile when properly sealed. Keeping them for a week or so is not an issue.

Tell that to Katie, who thinks if you don't drink it on the drive home from the brewery then you might as well pour it down the drain.

[Hot Damn!]

Why get a growler if you're not going to open it on the drive home?

[Hot Damn!]

Just saw El Cerrito got some Double Trunk in. Hope it's still there when I'm on my way home.

[James]

You are welcome. Not that I had anything at all to do with it. The pick up was Monday and canned on Saturday so it will be very fresh. 

[James]

Anyone hitting up Bootleggers tomorrow? I think we are making a lunch time trip over there. Growler and bottles of KS. 

[Aaronkv]

I'm going to Bootleggers Saturday. Should be some bottles left then I hope.

Awesome

Should be fine. In previous releases it used to be a 1 growler and 6 bottle limit. Now it's unlimited.

[eaterfan]

I will try to get up there.

[St1ck]

Won't be making the trip to Fullerton this round. I'll just pick up a couple bottles around my hood as I see them.

You won't see them this time around. Only available at the brewery

[St1ck]

At least now I know not to look for it.

[St1ck]

Looks like their next batch will be in Dec/Jan.

How is the Soco?

[Hot Damn!]

SoCo is okay. I like Lupulin Thrill a lot more though.

[epicbeergirl]

I won't be going to Bootlegger's on Thursday, since I host trivia there tonight.

One of these days!!
