Duly noted. I wish I had gone there last Friday instead. Angelo's wasn't worth the blood sugar spike.

Hey guys, jacktse and I are planning on a TB/friends bottle share in San Jose on the 19th! jacktse talked to the guys at ISO and they're letting us use the outside area of their bar, as long as we buy at least one drink. I can probably make an actual thread with some specifics later, but putting this here first with the hope some of ya'll can make it out. Let me know if you are interested!

looks like there is another event that day

"Join ISO:beers and The Beer Heads December 19th at ISO:beers from 5pm to 9pm for our Toys For Tots toy drive to help the children in need this year. Bring an unwrapped toy and get a raffle ticket, each toy earns you a ticket towards our giveways (beer / gift cards / glassware) we'll have at 9:30pm. Show your raffle ticket through out the night to earn $1 off draft beers."

 

[HeavySpeedway]

Cool - let's bring toys along with our bottles!

Come say hi if you are at Cellarmaker, wearing a Phillies hat.

How late are you staying? It's turning into a late night on my end but I'd love to make it work.

Not late, 3 hour drive for me from here. Maybe until 7?

Not to fear; I showed up to experience the vastness of space (sort of an oxymoron at Cellarmaker around 6).

Another time then. This time of year is pretty terrible hours-wise...

Aw, and I was looking forward to meeting the famous Arbitrator. Or have I already?

ISO is less than a block from Angelou's Mexican (sort of meh in my opinion - and what the hell is up with that orange sauce - but at least the burritos and tacos are acceptable), and just across the street from City Fish. Ike's Place is next door (no street crossing) and is open until 9, and sandwiches go well with bottle shares.

We'll be in decent shape for food.

Just want to clarify that it's actually La Victoria with the orange sauce and it is fantastic. Also, I will be there!

Angelou's has the same sauce.

I don't get it, but then again, I don't get rice on non-shrimp burritos

Oh god don’t get me started… the bay area does a lot of food far FAR superior to San Diego, but they need some SD transplants to show them how to make burritos.

Please no. Nothing is more boring than people from San Diego talking about Mexican food.

We already got it a few years back. They just got a truck. As an SD transplant, you have no idea the joy the California burrito brings to me.

Best in the Bay Area. I'll stack it up against any SD burrito.

"I was having some major Mexican food withdrawals after coming to the bay area, because SoCal is seriously the home of amazing Mexican food. My sister brought me to La Mission after two years, and I have to say that as much as I bash on the food here, but when I ate my burrito, I was in heaven."

 

[HeavySpeedway]

la vics orange sauce ***** on angelou's orange sauce

I've had both, and though I agree with you on your assessment, I still don't get the orange sauce - and probably never will. LOL

Yup, we noticed this too. ISO is pretty large and we plan to be outside (they recently got heat lamps) and we will be there on the early side so I don't foresee this being a huge problem. I always missed the Beer Revolution meet ups — how many hours did they last?

Usually around 4. But it depended on how many people, how many bottles they brought, etc.

Oh man, I used to live down the street from La Mission and miss it dearly. The mole and chilaquiles are unreal good.

Hey is that Mexican joint between the university and Shattuck on I believe Alston still around? I think it was called la cantina?

I will NEVER forget my first time. Would smash again 10/10.

Zero cell service. Back country roads at midnight. Strange farmhouse. Unfamiliar territory. Didn't even get rapey!

 

[benbikes4beer]

Speaking of which, I need to renew your faith in Alpine Beer Arbitrator. Mebbe come SFBW.

For the record. I am done with Alpine after those Green Flash bottles. But i am fickle, can be bought. Try me.
