The San Diego area thread

[arren]

I’m gonna be in La Jolla Thurs-Sun, but have a wedding on Saturday. Does this event draw a pretty big crowd at opening? I have time to kill before the ceremony (I’m not in the wedding, but my wife is). It’s tempting to get there at open and grab a few from that good looking draft list.

Regardless of when you go, there's guaranteed to be some incredible stuff on tap .

I will just be there Thursday.

Societe

Yeah, definitely interested to trying some of the feral beers. Too bad I won't be there on Friday.

Thinking maybe some combo of Societe + Mikkeller + Abnormal.

 

[drbenzo1]

For Renaissance you either go really early, late, and/or Sunday.

Sunday

The price came down this year too didn't it?

Never really got that comparison. They are related recipe wise, but CFH is way more balanced. Older Vis is usually boozy.

I finally got some substantial tastes of CFH at Woodshop. It’s a fine beer, but nothing you can’t find without standing in a line.

I'd agree if we're talking older batches of CFH, but some of the newest ones have been hot as **** fresh.

Sebowski You working sat? I'm leading a brewery tour for the gf and some of her friends and we're stopping at Pure, so I'll pop in and say hi if so.

CFH used to be a whale and now no one cares. How things have changed in 5 years.

CFH '14, I think that is blue wax, was the last one I enjoyed. I usually buy a bottle during renaissance and split with friends.

All they need to do is put vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, chiles, coconut, star anise, cocoa nibs, caramel, almonds,nutmeg and turbinado sugar in it. Problem solved.

And call it 'Do You Even Adjunct, Bro' Bourbon Barrel Aged Pastry Stout.

That’s the reason I appreciate it so much more now as its a great non-pastry BA stout #FightThePastryarchy

kill shot pics were quite solid but didn't seem like more beer-to-people than normal. Of course he had planned on going to Fall afterwards and I figured he would somehow end up at 7Grand with Tyrsis to finish off a bad-idea night.

Fall was closed and we were smart enough to not go to Seven Grand.

Merkin is a bottle I would have picked up if I ever saw it. I never saw it on a shelf around Carlsbad.

I don’t like Merkin, so I feel like Firestone wanting me to buy that is like Goose Island requiring stores to sell me Sophie or Matilda first before I can get any BCBS.

When I asked what's up in SD and arren asked if I was around Saturday, he should have been commenting on bacon n eggs cans. Fomo.
