If anyone is at Toronado, I'm about to leave and have two seats at the bar. Wearing a UA (that's Arizona, Tide fans). Tap me in the shoulder and it's yours.

Bear Down! Was it a **** show over there?

 

[bdogg1]

Beer Craft is killing it today. Had Batch 200, What Hop Pun?, City of the Dead, and Just Outstanding.

Yeah they did. And some solid bottles as well.

Bear Down! Was it a **** show over there?

It was a full house and the line outside was around 50 people deep when I left. I doubt any of them got a pour with everyone inside getting four at a time. My experience was good. I felt insulated from the chaos being seated at the bar, but I got there at 3pm to claim that spot. I feel for anyone attempting to navigate this week while working a normal schedule.

Spent four years at Davis-Monthan and three years on campus but didn't quite finish due to my girlfriend completing her PhD earlier than anticipated and landing a job up here. I'm always game for sports, good booze, and waxing poetic about Tucson.

May try to hit up Toro (or CBS) tomorrow afternoon if you and Ben want to make a return trip. Love to return the hospitality you guys showed me when i was down in SD.

Alameda or SF? I know there is a Lucky 13 on Market St. that gets Younger.

Alameda one, for sure, gets Younger

Lucky 13 is Alameda as posted in the op you replied too.

SF location usually hides it on a bud light tap

Thanks. I saw that you said Alameda, just wanted to confirm as I did not know it existed.

 

[Arbitrator]

Beltramo's beer selection has stepped up like crazy in the past few years.

Never go food shopping while hungry. Never go beer shopping while sober. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.

In fairness, I said I'm subsisting on shelf beer and SARA.

It's a cool spot but will be crowded.

 

[1987GN]

Methinks I may hit them for the dregs tomorrow. Nice selection. God forbid those taps are replaced with DFH though.

NITRO RODENBACH
Woods Polk Station
Fri. 2/13 Noon-10:00pm

You know it, you love it, but you've never had Rodenbach--the king of sour Flemish reds-- quite like this. Unless, that is, you've visited the brewery in Roeselare, Belgium, and tasted the creamy, cask-aged blend called "Foederbier" served only there. The rest of us flock to Woods Polk Station, where Rodenbach's chocolate-tart-cherry goodness is served on nitrogen: an extra-smooth, extra-fresh, extra-rare taste of one of the world's best beers.

I... what.

 

[phing]

Agreed. Here as well.
