The San Diego area thread

[pugsandsuds]

Fun to wander into toronado and have allagash coolship red on tap with zero fanfare. Really just another data point in the trend of amazing beer being readily available. Now just need some cans of that hoppy table beer.

Also, always a treat to cross path with Xul a couple times, hope the rest of the afternoon was stellar. And thank you mjlevy23 for the bagels, pretty sure tomorrow would be a pretty rough day had those not been consumed. They were a hit among toronado’s staff this evening as well.

All this hubbub about warm IPAs when, let's be real, Pizza Port cans are incredibly resilient, even on the floor of a chain supermarket. I've had three month old Swami's I've forgotten in my humid pantry that's been better than most freshies out there.

Agreed. I think it's a little overblown, personally.

Likewise, great running into you guys!

I somehow resisted stopping at Livewire on the way home AND resisted having a nightcap once I got home. So I'm only mildly hungover this time.

Friday the 6th at PPOB is our first stop off the plane. Sat is 30th. That's all we have planned. Brunch on Sunday at Small Bar is in the works. Erin leaves Wednesday morning. My conference starts Monday morning.

About to get my Tiki on at Hale Pele in PDX.

That place is tiny. I've had tiki there...on the sidewalk out front because it was too packed to get in.

And yes, they will serve you on the sidewalk.

Ahh, the yearly map nerd convention. My buddy is in town and I was able to score him a MT anni ticket.

Quickly followed by the yearly comic book, or now, tv-show and movie nerds. And also when the city of san diego makes bank from visitors.

Bummed I'm missing comic-con again since apparently I'd rather be enjoying 140F weather in the middle east.

 

[SanDiegoJoe2011]

And after Comic Con, it’s the Dental Traumatology conference!

Yes,and now my emoyernis paying my way. I came out twice on my own dime, staying with friends is key. Still debating renting a car or just ubering the whole trip.

Was going to be there for 9 days, but 2nd weekend is cut as now I'm headed to a funeral in St Louis.

The NP second anniversary hazy is good but very burnt on hazies. That new El segundo sounds like just what I need.

 

[Phischy1]

Some of the hazies make my tongue like it was burnt, like from scaling coffee or a chemical burn. I cannot say I'm much of a fan.

I liken it to my tongue wearing a turtleneck. Nobody wants to wear a turtleneck!

I think we narrowly escaped this issue with Gimme a 2nd. The first 5 cases that were filled we have held onto (you know, "for science") are totally chunky. Had to use a giant inline sediment filter to fill the cans that we are selling and what a difference that made vs. the chunky cans.

Avoiding over-extraction of hop-derived polyphenols and tannins is a challenging aspect of making haze. I'm sure most are dealing with the same issue we had in that the mobile canning company is already scheduled, but the beer finished a couple days later than expected and you weren't able to give it enough time to properly settle.

How in the world did employer become emoyernis? It's like you combined employer and penis somehow.

Fat fingers. And zero auto correct. It was "employer is". I also have a cracked screen so I blame that for most typos.

Haven’t been to Petco in years and heading to a Pads game today. Know I have plenty of beer options but looking for recommendations on where to head!
