The San Diego area thread

[Sebowski1]

Hah, I normally run my single speed, so I just walk up Texas; given my gearing and weight, I literally can't even turn the crank when going up that damn street. I'll be super happy once the 15 bike corridor opens in a month or so. pugsandsuds and rcubed will get sick of my presence.

Hi

#Eppig special lager is fan-fricking-tastic..... hard to choose between that one (tapped today) and Zwickel, so I got crowlers of both!!

I talked to Clayton, the brewer, a while back and he was saying they're killing it with crowlers, which warmed my cold heart.

Eppig really is the only brewery in town that warrants crowlers.

So who do I get to blame for my leaving Carlsbad and going to Mexico (I mean Mira Mesa) and getting a Nelson fill today? Thinking it'll go great with a Pens win tomorrow night. amirite drbenzo ??

San Diego taco company, no question

 

[pugsandsuds]

Not usually a huge fan of Fall (always solid, not spectacular), but their zwickel, plenty for now, is fantastic, up there with eppig. I hadn't seen this before, anybody know if I'm just an idiot and they have it regularly?

I notice they do fish tacos too, hardly any of the catering companies do that...

Eventually I'll wander over there. Honestly I'm still just on auto walk to toro, it just takes a little longer now

I don't understand either of these things, but I'm willing to learn Sensei.

Never could snag batch one. Hear all about it and was so stoked when batch two came out...that stuff was terrible.

I thought 2 was pretty good?! 3 was the horsepiss.

LOL... I went to buy a keg the week of Drmoonman's wedding and when that came out and Malonie (sales) gave me a 4 pack. And I had purchased some a few days early. **** was so good...

 

[rcubed1]

Heading to Eppig in about 30 minutes, open invite. #lagerday

 

[Tyrsis]

Just got home from FWIBF. No beer for a day or two. Ugh

 

[arren]

Batch was decent but still a shell of its former self. I remember waiting at Toro for them to tap it and thinking, "I left work two hours early for this?"

In retrospect, it was probably the first sign that things weren't the best for GF.

Hello Pacific thread. I'm out on the east coast and will be traveling to your area in a few weeks. Looking for some recommendations as to a good spot and a good location with a good selection of packaged craft.

Also if anyone wants to try some east coast stuff I would be willing to bring some with me and talk about a trade.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Our "area" is huge as ****...so narrowing it down to what part of town you are in will help tons. Also...access to vehicle?

As for location of packaged craft...regardless of where you are going to end up, you should probably go visit kingg at Bine and Vine.
