Rugged One Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Plus don't forget O'Briens, The Liar's Club, and now I find out that you can visit the tasting bar at Port Brewing in San Marcos. I hit the Karl Strauss at Universal Citywalk last month (pics to come soon) and it wasn't bad. I'd definitley be up for hitting the one in San Diego or Carlsbad. Man, it's going to be a busy weekend.
saturday97 Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Yeah, SD is very beer friendly. I also like Ballast Point beers, they don't have a pub or tasting room that I know of, but you can take some home with you.
DerekRx Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 Well of course! The carry-on cooler will be coming with to bring home some goodies. San Diego, host city of the September BACT Attack
DerekRx Posted June 7, 2006 Posted June 7, 2006 What? You didn't think that just because I was flying to the UK that I would either not drink tonight or keep my faithful followers in suspense, did you? Tonight found me at the Philly Airport and therefore a quick stop at Independence Brew Pub, between B and C terminals. followed by a Yard's Saison. good stuff before I go to "the Land of Warm Beer" later all! first choice will be the Hop Hog IPA look at the selection on tap tonight! Well worth the walk from A west to B-C
FlyerACE1 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 Well, with Derek out of the country for the next few weeks I wanted to make sure and keep the beer thread alive and well. I'm sure between Heath, Wally, Memphish and I, things will be quite ok. Any way, here are a few shots of my beer experiences from this past weekend. Enjoy! This 60 Minute Man loves me more Rail Mail Rye! I bought a growler of the Rye to take home! The Rail Mail Rye! Rye beers are hard to come by but Willimantic makes a great one. So good in fact... Here's the extensive beer menu, usually full of IPA selections. Sadly, many of the selections were sold out. However, they did have my absolute favorite... Mr. Whitman's (Ellen's dad) first appearance on the beer thread. He's drinking the Autobahn Mail Alt. On Saturday I was up in CT and visited one of my favorite brewpubs, Willimantic Brewing Company, with Ellen and her family. Here I am enjoying a Steam Kettle Bier. Smooth and refreshing but light on the hops.
FlyerACE1 Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 A couple weeks back, Tom bought me a couple bottles of the new Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA. Finally got around to trying it and hit hop gold! Double Simcoe has an amazing hop flavor, not overly bitter and somewhat sweet. One of the best IPA's I've ever had! Weyerbacher has a winner.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Well, with Derek out of the country for the next few weeks I wanted to make sure and keep the beer thread alive and well. I'm sure between Heath, Wally, Memphish and I, things will be quite ok. Any way, here are a few shots of my beer experiences from this past weekend. Enjoy! Yeah... I guess I could post some stuff. I'll be at Brew It Up tomorrow for lunch with the wife. So I'll post something tomorrow. Also... DORTUMNDER IS BEING BREWED TOMORROW!!!
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 If you can't tell by now, I do all my own marketing.
Rugged One Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I like those Wally! Wow man, you have promotional materials and merchandise. You're ready to take off with this thing! Adam, if you liked the Double Simcoe, I read somewhere that Weyerbacher is working on a triple IPA for later this year. Some random stuff from the last couple of days. Finally, the Troegs Sunshine Pils. This one is a little light but is still pretty tasty and refreshing. The newly retooled Weyerbacher Hops Infusion. I was initially disappointed by the original Hops Infusion but this one rocks. Again, very smooth and balanced with much more hops. The Lost Coast Indica IPA. I really liked this one. Nice balance to this and is one of the more drinkable IPAs I've had in awhile. The Avery Karma Ale.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I like those Wally! Wow man, you have promotional materials and merchandise. You're ready to take off with this thing! Yeah... But no beer available to back it up. Yet that is. I'm going to burn up like Shlitz did in the 70's. I can't wait to brew Dortmunder tomorrow. I'm actually REALLY excited about it. I know what mistake I made before, and I won't do it again I can tell you that.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Karen and I went to Brew It Up for lunch today. Nordendolf Lager... probably about the only good beer they offer. It may look good, but it was VERY bland.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Don't I look like a mad scientist with my strain of yeast in hand?
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Don and Monica just called me from Germany. They said that Black Mamba was AWESOME! And that they just got beer out from a hotel vending machine. So Don sent me a picture via camera phone. Monica's first add to the beer thread.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Getting ready to brew the Dort. I need a little motivation first.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Just finished brewing the Dortmunder. What the schedule looks like. OH HELL YEAH!!! Staring Gravity is 1.063 And there it sits... in the new fride I bought just for fermenting my beer.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Brewed some more today. But not at home, at Brew It Up in downtown Sac. I brewed a Bavarian Pils that will be ready in about 6 weeks. Me and a beer with my beer. No... that's not a Black and Tan. That's my malt extract.
PhishyBrewer Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 So I think Heath is dead. And I have to keep this thread alive by myself until Derek gets back. Where's Adam???
saturday97 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I'll contribute. I've been on a bender, so we decided to get a growler full of Squatter's latest seasonal. Spongebob is ready to party. Squatters growler filled with the limited edition Mexican Gold.
J.R. Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Where's Adam??? Adam was last seen in a cheap motel in Southington, CT, drinking beer with other BACT members. Some of the remains of the BACT meeting in CT. It's not the bright red clown shirt that's making him so happy, it's the Insanity.
mcjaco Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I've got some additions. I was waiting to post until after my trip to New Belgium tomorrow. I cna hardly wait!
