20 ounces of Hoppy Brewing delight to celebrate the day before the day before Thanksgiving. If you can’t get this beer where you are, you are missing what I think is one of the best IPAs in America. Just saying…
San Diego
Torpedo at Urge
Stopped into Urge gastropub in San Diego for the first time. Nice atmosphere and lots of taps. Decided to be mellow and have a Torpedo IPA from Sierra Nevada. Excellent, well-balanced IPA; never regret getting this one.
High Tide from Port Brewing
first High Tide fresh hop IPA of the season. Carlos the security man is making sure I drink it correctly.
Ritual Tavern
Made a stop at Toronado SD and they were out of the first five beer choices. Stopped by El Take It Eazy…just cuz…and walked out without having a beer. Then walked to Ritual Tavern and am sharing a Cherry Chocolate Stout collaboration beer: Jason Fields, Kevin Sheppard, Troegs, Stone.
Quick stop at Green Flash
First visit to Green Flash new location. We tried the Summer Saison, Sugar Smack Double, Tripple, Le Freak and Special Cuvee Tripple.
Fish for lunch
I’ve got a little slow time today so I decided to pop open a bottle of Ballast Point’s Sculpin IPA to go with my enchiladas. This beer is without a doubt one of the best examples of San Diego IPAs out there.
Draft list at Backstreet
Here’s what’s on tap at Backstreet Brewing in Vista. plenty for an IPA lover to enjoy.

San Diego – America’s best beer town even if Portland complains
I’m getting a good laugh out of the guys up in the Northwest who are all in high dudgeon over Men’s Journal naming San Diego as “the new beer capitol of the U.S.” Seems that our beer drinking brethren up in Oregon (and Washington state) don’t like the fact that Portland – the self-titled “Beertown [...]
