I was at the Sante at the same time as BrandoSF, but I didn't know until someone pointed him out as he was leaving... I almost posted a missed connection on Craigslist...

Brando at Sante?!!! When has that happened???!!!

 

[tosh1]

I reckon I have met the least number of local people.

I feel dirty that I went from one (matedog ) to 4 dick ticks in one afternoon.

Aww, I was your first.

Didn't hurt to have the Clash, Liverpool connection as well.

Only reason I outed myself.

WTF!! I wish I'd have known. Next time first rounds on me.

happens all the time at Sante

Ah, that's the catch. I go to Sante a handful of times a year. And that's more than any other brewery.

There is no joy in my life anymore. Only darkness.

I remember those days like it was just yesterday, you would roll in the back door about 10 minutes before closing....

And arren was just complaining that this thread was dead over in the SD thread...

Ha, looks like I was well wrong.

Wish I could've stayed in Oakland a lot longer (and, at the very least, met up with a couple of you *****), but that first night was an utter shitshow. Beer Rev, Annex, Trappist, and some rando bar that had PVW 23 and the entire BTAC lineup for incredibly cheap. Not sure how I survived through yesterday morning.

Your last trip to SD was basically a gay bath house of dick ticking.

Huh? I didn’t meet with tosh at Societe if that’s what you’re asking…? Just met at Toro with everybody else.

It was a Kearny Mesa bath house joke.

Are there any good places to eat by SARA?

You can order Aptos BBQ from there or just go. It's nearby. Also Beer 30 is cool. There are others, but those are the only ones I can speak to.

Aptos BBQ is the ONLY option.

 

[chemman141]

SO true, great food, great tap list.

 

[chemman141]

Aptos BBQ is the ONLY option.

I have also seriously considered having someone ship me some spicy BBQ sauce from there. Cant wait to visit again next month.

Thanks! I'm here now and it was definitely a great decision.

I would like to vouch for AJ's market and their spicy chicken wraps. I get one almost every time I come down... some day, I'm going to go in there and have them grill me up a ribeye and bring it to Sante.

You're welcome

This is why we need name tags. If you got beer, I'm the short dude that poured it for you

That's my favorite gas station/local market in the world. Insane selection of food, drink, and beer, reasonable prices, and great deli sandwiches and hot food. Just ridiculous.

Couldn't agree more. Was my go to "bottle shop" when I was living in Aptos. They could totally mark up prices on beer and food, but they don't. My dad used to work with AJ back in the day doing construction. Awesome dude.
