Gotta have this post bookmarked.

Oh man, gotta try that next!!! Guess I’ll have to make another batch of pastrami now. Oh bother!

Yeah, most of their sour beers are DIS GUST ING . Liked a Barleywine they did tho, a LOT.

I opened the free bottle they sent me, a ba belgian stout. I expected an awful beer and was pleasantly surprised. We all were.

Checked out Culver Beer Co today with some work folk, not awful! First new brewery I’ve been to in the last year or so where I found myself wanting to return. Any other fun new-ish places people have frequented more than once? Aside from Eppig, Resident, and Burgeon, I can’t think of any brewery that’s opened in the last 2-3 years that I find myself at. To quote a great philosopher, I guess this is growing up?

Probably one of the more dissappointing bottles I've ever had was when the made Sila Stout. I had heard so much about it from year's past, I was stoked to try it. It was terrible. Totally off. When I asked, they said it was fine. Been leery of them since.

I checked out Northern Pine in Oceanside yesterday. I didn't try everything on the menu but what I had was solid to great. One of the more diverse beer menus in town with a cream ale, ESB, Cal common, amber, saison, and rye porter to go with their hoppy offerings.

Also Ned Hall, my collab pils with Thomas, is back on draftand tasting excellent. And his 2017 Alpha King winning beer Thizz What It Is is one of the best DIPAs I've had awhile.

Thizz is a new batch? It was really good last time I had it.

I think so since it was so damn pungent on the aroma.

I'm looking forward to Thomas' entry for this year's challenge.

Few things I tried yesterday that were stand outs...

Thorn Got Nelson? IPA
Cracker bread Pils maltiness with pungent danky Nelson shining through nicely. Solid West Coast mineral dryness in the finish.

Mother Earth/Melvin Four Seasons Spring 2018
Old school West Coast hop bomb, guava and orange pith hop flavors with firm bitterness.

drbenzo The Russian dressing recipe is amazing, but man is this type of eating terrible for weight loss. Week for a Reubens got me feeling & looking like Cartman.

That was probably the first red flag that Green Flash might have been losing their ******* mind. I guess they had less "yield" than they expected (i.e., a good amount of their barrels got infected), so they decided to blend in fresh Silva with it all before bottling. And it had to have been a good amount, considering the blend was nearly 50-50 BA and non-BA.

The worst part there is that they had some of the 100% barrel-aged on tap during the release day under a different name, and the difference between that and Silva was ******* night and day. It was pure greed and, I don't know, idiocy to ruin such a good beer like that.

 

[jwacky]

My favorite Green Flash memory: When they were blowing out cases of Jolly Folly bombers for $20. Nobody needed that much Jolly Folly but the deal was too good to pass up.

Anyone go to either of the padres games this weekend and can report back on beer there? I really hope Speedway Stout is available somewhere in the park.

 

[rmaste6282]

This beer is so good that I was supposed to include it in a box to the midwest and then I was like "nah **** that"

We've got more in case you want to pick some more up. Glad you guys are enjoying.

No speedway currently. 394 bar is trying to get it back in cans though.

Didn't all the pours on field level used to be 20oz? On Saturday I paid 13.75 for a Chasing Citra and I swear that cup was 16oz...

Dammit! Hopefully they succeed!

I thought the ones on field level were always 16oz whereas going into one of the bar areas would sell you 20oz for like $1 more. And I did the same on Thursday. Chasing Citra was my "walking around" beer as I was checking out all of the new stuff.

I'm going to start bringing a plastic flask in there. Prices are completely absurd. $12 "craft" cans of Ballast Point.

**** outta here

At least you guys have Ballast, all we have at ****** ass Dodgers stadium is Golden Road and Lagunitas.

How much is a Speedway and a baseball game?

I swear someone saying it was $20 for a 750 or $12 for the 16 oz can. Don't quote me on that.

 

[rcubed1]

I saw a picture of the Dodger Stadium craft beer menu and beers were $17.75. Unbelievable.

Pre-game and post-game is where it's at.

$12 for the 16oz (draft, not can...never saw can prices) when it was served off the Ryan Bro's coffee carts. The 750 was just shy of $20 at the 394 bar when they had it.

Not going to baseball games & drinking at home is where it’s at
