RuinTen is fantastic. Glad they chose to make it every year.

Hurry up Venice Beach Firestone! Wont have to make the drive to Buellton again!

 

I'm making the trek up to Barrelworks for the Bretta Rose & Stickee Monkee release on the 17th. Also going for a couple lil Opal bottles too.

I went to Noble last night and tried several beers. I wasn't a big fan of the Naughty Sauce. I know I'm in the minority but I just wasn't getting much from it beside the coffee. It might just be that I couldn't get my head around a light stout. I did like a lot of the other beers I tried including Equinox and Cinko de Drinko.

i can understand a score of 1, but how do you explain the .1?

Had Double Sucks at Lagunitas yesterday. One of the best IPA's I've had.

Tomorrow Bevmo in Chino Hills is getting in some Goose Island Bourbon County. I joined this group on facebook and they give me all the scoop and host some bottle shares. Also Party House Liquor in Chino Hills is my number 1 source for crafties, Bobby the owner, hand picks everything that comes in. He posts all his new stuff on their instagram too. He had some BCBS on Tuesday but that shit was gone in a few hours.

I didn't know Party House liquor had good beer.

My friend got to have Horchata beer the other day. So nasty.

[Spencer]

Went to The Bruery for the first time in a couple years. They've really stepped it up on the ambiance. 30-something beers on menu too.

Naughty Sauce is on at Noble. Yummers

Any ideas for some under the radar/newer breweries in SD worth trying? My buddies and I are going down to pick up some stuff from Alesmith but want to try some new stuff.

We stopped by Mike Hess Brewing the other day. Enjoyed it. They have a small tasting room (think garage in an industrial park) right around the corner from Ale Smith. Rough Draft was very good as well. We made a nice afternoon out of the three.

We did Mike Hess brewing. Really great tasting glasses there. Didn't try many of their hop forward beers.

 

We were thinking Rough Draft. Thanks for the rec. We'll stop by there for sure now.

[James]

You also have Saint Archer and White Labs right there as well.

[eaterfan]

Went to St. Archer and Rough Draft. I was far more impressed with Rough Draft. I did enjoy the coffee brown from St. Archer but nothing else was more worthy. 

 

Anyone going to Firestone Walker this weekend?

[Blarg]

That I do not know.

I am going to look through all the beers I tried out in europe and see if I can mimic one of my favs.

Suggestions for first batch for first timer?

Hamm's.

[Brandon]

I'd probably go with a Zima/Bartles and James hybrid.

Make more than Google.

[mrwicked]

haha "zima / bartles and james hybrid" makes me lol.

so much fun in that one sentence.

 

i miss zima.

what ever happened to them?

 

somewhere there are peeps having epic parties with the last of the world's supply of zima and skyy blu.

Really great tasting glasses at Hess? We went on Sunday and they were pouring into little plastic cups like you'd get a Jell-O shot in. Wasn't really impressed with any of their beers.

Societe was cool. Wish they had more of their beers available. Did see yesterday that the Pupil is back.

[TobiasFunke]

Probably going to Hangar 24 on Sunday. Would be a first.

[James]

Ness is great but i prefer the north park location. Never seen plastic cups used, thats funny.

I hit up Alpine, BNS, Societe and Stone on Sunday. Enjoyed some Keene Idea and Hoppy Birthday.

Looking to hit up the Temecula breweries this weekend. Ironfire, Black Market, Aftershock, Weins, Refuge and Garage.
