6% Belgian Pale half-pour as a palette cleanse after Hangar 24 Slow Roll – Barrelroll #6. Need to find the Slow Roll in bottles.
Barrelroll #6 Slow Roll
5th Anniversary creation by Hangar 24. Wowza, Wowza, Wowza!!!! Enjoyed at California Kebab and Beer Garden…
Firestone Walker IPA and IronFist Renegade Blonde
Whilst waiting for yummies at Promiscuous Fork.
Lucky Buddha Lager
The wife found this little oddity at Target of all places. It’s a Chinese lager, 4.8% ABV. It’s tagline reads “enlighted beer.” They got the “light” part right. PBR seems hoppy by contrast. The bottles are cool anyway. They’ll make nice vases or something.
Clown Shoes Muffin Top
A Belgian-style tripel India pale ale… who would have thunk… and 10% ABV. Perfect after a bike ride and while soaking in the Jacuzzi.
Stone World (Liberty Station)
Stopped by the new Stone Brewing World (something another) location, and had a beer and a lobster roll. HUGE place (over 60,000 sq ft!!, and largest restaurant in town!) Fun walking around with our beers.
ChuckAlek in Ramona
Finally made it to Ramona to check out this new brewery…
Brothers Provisions
A bottle shop with draft beer and food. I had the Fleur de Houblon from Ommegang, a Belgian style pale ale, and the boy had the Humulus Lager, listed as an American pilsner, from the Bruery. no way did that taste like a pilsner…more like an IPL.
Sunday Beer Tasting in Santee
Tasters at Butcher’s Brewing, Manzanita Brewing, and BNS Brewing and Distilling. Nice afternoon…
3 Beans by Sixpoint
Also from our East Coast visit last week… Delicious with our grilled steak salad poolside.
Strawberry Short Weiss
Tart and refreshing after bike ride! (From last week’s visit to Smuttynose.)
Heady Topper
Doing it right and drinking from the can and soon after purchase. It is a really good beer.
Gritty McDuff’s Brewtique (Portland, ME)

And now on to one of my favorites, Alpine”s Duet IPA.
Blind Pjg
Clearing the palate with some Russian River Blind Pig at O”Briens
