That's insane, I'm glad they're okay, would hate for anything to happen to those blueberries!Thanks for asking. They're the next ridge over to the west, so they've been safe so far. Lost power and phone, so they evacuated early this morning. Keeping our fingers crossed for the house and farm.
Red circle is the farm:
Dad took this a couple of days ago:
do they check every box you bring in? Never heard of a place only allowing wine.
Yeah I mean if it’s the best price and location combo, I’d just go for it and say you’re storing wine. Might depend on if they have multiple access points. Mine actually doesn’t want you to walk through the store front part - they want to you to use your code on a separate door.
Depends, what's your poison these days?
planning on hitting up SARA and Cellarmaker, possibly Fieldwork and a trip to Alvarado St in Monterey. aside from those, i'm ideally looking for dark beers and cider.
Refuge in San Carlos or Menlo Park.
There's an Orenchi in Redwood City now as well - you can get your name on the waitlist via Yelp.
Falafelle if you are looking in the RWC/San Carlos area.
I'm no scientist, but high-quality canning lines (Tree House comes to mind) don't appear to have DO issues at all. Bad ones definitely do.Vinnie was on the Full Pint podcast recently. Some interesting points:
- They can more or less double their production with the new facility.
- They have no plans to expand beyond this. It is their "dream brewery."
- With new capacity, they are going to mostly send more to their current accounts, at least at first.
- They are always looking to try new things (uuuh, sure). But Vinnie does want to start doing basically fruited Beat which sounds fun.
- No canning plans (though they have the space for it) because of too much excessive DO (dissolved oxygen) vs. bottling. I'd like to raise this point to the more scientific minds around these parts in a separate thread.
- Happy Hops is their answer to the hazy IPA craze
