The San Diego area thread

Top spots close to petco?

Amplified just opened up a new spot down there. I am sure Sebowski can give you more info

Does Electric Brewing distribute anywhere closer to San Diego, if at all? Feel like I've been hearing more and more about them and their beers look/sound good. Curious to try them out, but not curious enough to drive to Temecula for it.

Seems like Ale Tales in Linda Vista (?) brings some down from time to time. Can’t tell if it’s legit distro or not though.

Got some sneak peaks of upcoming Belching Beaver sours last night. The cherry one is excellent with a good amount of spontaneous beer in the mix. davemont can back me up on that. Those barrels Peter has are really starting to mature. Sorry you missed out on that one smithj2154 but you know who to get some from.

If you guys still have Toolbox beers in the cellar, drink them up although some are still holding up very nicely.

Yes bummed I didn't stick around for that part but saved me a LYFT ride home so had to do it. And yes I'm sure I'll try some soon enough

Their stuff is legit. We've been bringing in their beer (NorCal) for about 6 months now. They're only a few blocks from Ironfire, which would make the trip a little easier to swallow. If not, pick them up if you see some cans around where you live.

If you want to see a brewery do high ABV BA beers, check out Rip Current right now. No Hope for Rescue ***** on Black Tuesday all ******* day. 18.2%. Insanely good.

When does red wing karaoke start?

 

[pugsandsuds]

And Tyrsis is very right, the new rip current beers are killer

woah... what's happening with SD Beertalk Radio?!?! sounds intense....

After living in S.D. for 6 years prior to moving to S.F., Rip Current is on the top of my list of places to visit for when I’m back down for a conference. I've always enjoyed their beers, but for one reason or another, just never made a point to stop-by when I lived downtown. Now that I'm a tourist, I plan to wander up and down 30th, ha.

Also on the list:
-Modern Times (TOLC fanboy)
-NPBC - I've been there a few times, but I've never been blown away. Now that they've been open for longer, I'm ready to give them another go!

For once, we didn't end up at Redwing. We went to Harvey's and he promptly irish-goodyed us, so I went home.

The lady and I have a Born &Raised reservation tomorrow, no need to get messy tonight...

Googling his name brings up interesting results. Perhaps related to that?

Yes.

 

[jwacky]

Yes.

Seems that “that” happened quite a while ago. Makes me think something new surfaced... or maybe it really is just that someone googled his name for the first time in 14 years.

Can someone "unfacebook" this story for those of us that don't go on there? I have no idea what anyone is talking about. Tell me a story.

New stuff (same heinous ****) from what I’ve been told.

No.

Edited to add: I’ll msg you directly.

 

[rcubed1]

Wow I searched his name. If you had that kind of history I’m surprised you would get involved in such a public way. I’d rather not hear what the latest issue is.

 

[chemman141]

Whats his last name? I hate vagueposting.

Dude, I don't care if it happened 20 years ago - that **** is truly despicable, and I'm surprised nobody dug all that up sooner, especially considering some of the decent coverage that podcast got.

I certainly can't/won't argue with that. My point was that in this day and age, it is pretty surprising that it would just now be coming to light considering it's the third result when searching.

 

[jwacky]

PM'd. I'm just not sure what protocol is with this sort of thing and what should/shouldn't be shared "publicly", despite what we're talking about being public information.

Right?

Maybe it did come up and there was some forgiveness on the part of the other hosts, but I can't imagine they didn't already know about it.

 

[chemman141]

Wow.......

 

[sdreaper]

So ION, BA All of the Lights has been for sale and took about 25minutes to sell out.

Also, Monster Tones is still ******* delicious.

Yeah, that was surprising.

Not sure why no one wants to just list this out, it's 2 clicks away. Apparently, some dude Greg from sd beer talk is a registered sex offender for CP, and the other people at sd beer talk either just figured that out or something new happened and they're distancing themselves immediately.

Was that so hard to describe?

I'm wondering if they produced more of it than the other BA beers or if the price is finally turning people off. I'll admit I bought one, but it was simply as a favor for a friend of a friend that's out of state - I'm not especially price sensitive, but $24 for 375ml is pretty absurd.

Their IG post indicates that they had a "significantly higher amount available", so, yeah.

Mikkeller's "X" cans pushed this price point as well recently, IIRC. The price of beer is too damn high.

 

[Tyrsis]

I've cut back dramatically on beer.
Unfortunately I'm just buying more whiskey, so it doesn't really matter tbh
