Poor wording. Meant to say a bunch of breweries.

No that's a few blocks away, across the street from the public library

I am sure there is plenty of "beer" there!

Looks like Lagunitas sold the rest of the company out to Heiniekins.

Warm filtered.

Burgeon is good. Tasting room is purdy. Was a shame I could only stay for a couple tasters. Super welcoming, makes you want to stay a long time. Tyrsis would hate it.

Checked out Newtopia Cyders yesterday...pretty nice spot over on Carroll, east of I-15. Ciders were rather delicious, not overly sweet, except for a strawberry/vanilla one they poured for me. The rest I tried were nice and dry, some had a bit of funk to them.

Relaxing and spacious tasting room, nice outdoor patio. It was a tad warm inside but the cross breeze was there, just a bit weak in the early evening. They do have fans they can always turn on and I was told if necessary they could always turn on the AC.

I guess the place officially opened on April 1st, but was in a soft-opening stage since late January. Started by a couple that where the husband liked beers and the wife preferred wine so cider was the middle ground.

Nice prices, got at least 6 tasters and a full pour (might have been 10 tasters if my buddy put his on my tab), but either way, walked out at $26 on my tab.

Employees are quite knowledgeable about what they are serving, which is good because I know jack-all about ciders. So a bit of information about each of my tasters was a nice touch. It was constantly busy, which I thought was odd, but I guess they are centered around a large gateway in/out of Scripps Ranch and pretty much must be passed by the residents there.

Is anyone going to the Bad Boy release tomorrow that might have 2-3 extra bottles? I usually try to go over lunch, but I got moved to cover another office and I'll be like an hour away tomorrow. I can either do cash/IP trade and meet up this weekend at a place of your choosing (and buy you a beer!)

 

[DannyFullpint]

Ok, I'll put tickets on sale 11am tomorrow.

Little over a week till I'm out there. Any news on bottle sharing at toro on Tuesday?

 

[evilc]

How are the Cutwater digs at Petco? Saw a pic on IG. Wondering if it has to follow that 1.5oz of spirits thing or since not the distillery they have a real serving license. 3 tiers sure means a hell of a lot more for distilling than brewing.

No clue; haven't been in months tbh. I'll be there next Tuesday and can check up.

Did not go to the Mikkeller Anni, but tried a few of the beers tonight that were on tap then. The cab anni beer was good, but tree blood was pure maple, any word on if it will see bourbon barrels? I asked but did not get a response. If anyone from Mikkeller sees this please put that beer into bourbon barrels.....thhhhhannnnkkksssss.

Did they still have that Rapple on cask? It sounds like a really strange beer but it was really good. Somehow all the components of the beer come together well.

I guess I was not paying enough attention to see that on cask. I am guessing its a rapbeerry apple Berliner?

Yes, with coffee as well. Really strange but surprisingly good.

I didn't notice Rapple on the taplist when I was there on Wednesday, so it my be done. Agreed w/ above post on Tree Blood though - I loved that one!

It was the raspberry blush (coffee raspberry Berliner Weiss) with apple cider and tart cherry.

After Société FB post about no green "enhanced beer", I'll pay pal $5 to someone to go, order a Harlot, drop green dye and snap a pic, then post it here. Must show their beer board in the background.

Bruery did a fun thing a few years ago, with green hop extract. They would put a drop or two in Humulus, and it was great.

 

[Phischy1]

Except it's Cinco, not St Paddys. WTF, I think I was trolled by Société. Is there some tradition of spiking beers with hot sauce on Cinco I'm unaware of?

To be clear... these were hop oils extracts (for aroma), and they had green dye added (for fun).

And yes, it was great.

I remember that Bruery Anni. I thought it was a good idea to add green hop oils to Knuckle Sandwich. It went...okay.
