In preparation for the Jack Daniel’s Dinner last night at Churchills Pub & Grille, Ivan had Jack Daniel’s barrels filled with beer at Port Brewing/ Lost Abbey. The barrel aged Serpent’s Stout was fantastic. Get it while you can…I doubt it will last long.

High Tide Brewing & Hop Goofing
They’re brewing High Tide, a fresh-hopped IPA, over at Port Brewing and The Lost Abbey this week. Actually, they’re brewing 9 times over a period of three days with each batch requiring a hopback full of freshly picked hops.

To celebrate, friends Kevin Hopkins (who Twitters with the enthusiasm of a 16 year-old girl) and Brian Friel chartered a bus from Brewery Tours of San Diego, assembled 20 or so of [...]
4th of July Intoxication Guide
It’s Independence Day here in the ol’ U.S. of A. which means we’ll all be BBQing, indulging in adult beverages and essentially partying like it’s, well… the 4th of July.
