Beer

It's very Pub-ish. I only ate the Scotch eggs (delish!) so I don't really have an opinion about the food. Great selection of beers. My bf and his coworkers go there all the time.

How did you like Churchill's? My cousin is the owner. I'm always curious what other people think about it.

 

 

I went there the previous weekend. From what I can remember I liked it.

Drove up to Bootlegger's on Friday, and picked up 2 cases of Knuckle Sandwich. So good.

Close to running into you. Hot Damn went up there Friday and I couldn't make it but he picked up the same.

I got there a little after 3. Around what time was he there? 

[Brandon]

I think it was later and more of a hangout and pick up opposed to just grabbing bottles and filling growlers.

A couple buddies and I went out to Valiant Brewing on Saturday. I had never tried any of their beers before. Really enjoyed the Jericho Imperial IPA and Pathos Porter. The rest of the beers I tried ranged from meh to drinkable.

[REDemption]

Went to Stone, Churchill's, and Mother Earth Saturday afternoon. Churchill's was having a New Belgium Lips of Faith event. Tried a bunch.

I actually made it out to Churchill's for this also. It was later in the afternoon. Of the three I tried, the Paardebloem was probably my favorite. I like Churchill's.

I am the black guy in the video. Pretty cool to get an email from Natalie and Vinnie thanking me for speaking for them. As I told them, I would have said something more profound if I had slept and was not drinking all night.

Awesome James, I was just there a couple times last week.

Friday afternoon flight:

[James]

Nice man, the beer is amazing of course but those Pliny Bites are addictive. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Yes! Had those and the jalepeno ones too, with the savage sauce.

I swear, the last few weeks Keith and I keep being at the same places but seem to miss each other.

He waited in his car until you left, according to his Facebook page, twitter, and Instagram.

Having all of those explains why he never finds time to post here anymore.

[Brandon]

Sorry.

Busy dude taking pics of myself and meals I've cooked that no one cares about.

[mrwicked]

did big sur and carmel this weekend.

drank lots of local beer.

all were exceptional.

 

carry on.

[Stradling]

I tried Bootleggers Black Phoenix over the weekend. It was a very good 'one beer' beer. I don't think I could drink more than one but I still enjoyed it. Pretty heavy dark beer butnotbitter like some can be. I recommend it.

[Stradling]

I've had it and it is quite good.

Has anyone had the Chimay anniversary beer? It's supposed to be better than the Blue Label, 10% alcohol, about $14 a bottle at Total Wine.

Soto, I've had it. Skram bought me one for my birthday, it's pretty damn good.

[CaliAngel]

Would love to know what this guy does for a living.

This one?

 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Cali, wow nice detective work.  I was looking while watching the video and didn't see him.

 

James, were you 'Pettis' on the old board?

[Aaronkv]

Does anyone have a site that shows notable release dates for special brews? Maybe one that breaks it down by region like Southern California. Or we can start a list here?

 

Only ones I know of right now are;

 

Stone Enjoy By 08-02-13 Bottling this Friday, available at Stone Company stores Monday July 1st. (Don't think this one is being distributed to SoCal)

Stone Farking Wheaton WootStout ~ I think July 17th

Bourbon Barrel-aged Santa’s Little Helper ~ July 13th

 

Sometime in August Lost Abbey is releasing a batch of Duck Duck Gooze for the Sour fans, if there's any here.

This one is talked about quite a bit at my drinking establishment. They have a big beer list type deal, like what many of us did at Throwbacks where you finish it and get recognition.

This one is on there and many don't like it. I think I even initially didn't like it. It's a stout, but a chipotle and coffee flavored one that was too drastic for me at first....heavy spice coffee wasn't good.

But many do the list just to do it and if they don't like what they ordered will pass it to me. This one comes quite often and I have grown to like it.

I think where your palate is when you drink it has an affect.

Where did you see that release date for the Enjoy By? 

[James]

Black Phoenix is one I cant get into at all. 

 

Aaron, i haven't seen such a site. Facebook is my go to for that info but it would be cool to have such a list. 

[James]

I was told of a very similar release date for Enjoy By as well.
