A Pint at Toronado San Diego

Alpine Captain Stout and New Belgium Fall Wild Ale

Went to Toronado San Diego in search of some draft sours…but nothing on draft today would really fill that bill. Tried the Fall Wild Ale from New Belgium Brewing and had an old favorite Captain Stout from Alpine Beer Company.

The Ritual Tavern

After a long-ass day I stopped at the Ritual Tavern and rewarded myself with an Armada Imperial IPA, a collaboration brew from Mission Brewery and Dean Rouleau of San Diego Brewing Co.

Toronado San Diego

A short walk and I was at Toronado…along with everyone else in San Diego. As usual I did not get close to tasting all that was available on draft. BLAH’s Lee Chase spewed a list of recommended beers and I ended up with a New Belgium Le Terroir.

A couple of Blind Pigs - Russian River Brewing

My night-cap was a pint of Russian River’s Blind Pig IPA.

Private Party at the Toronado San Diego Tonight

Beer Molly — Sat, 17 May 2008 17:48:01 +0000

Tonight is “friends and familiy” night at the new Toronado Bar in San Diego. (offspring of the world famous Toronado in San Francisco). The public opening of the bar is next Wednesday, but we’ve been lucky enough to get invited to the party tonight as guest of Ivan Derezin, owner of Churchill’s Pub & Grill.

Along with Ivan Sage and myself, Matt Dolman (of Matt Dolman fame), Carol, Eric and Adam will also be in attendance. Naturally, we’ll be blogging live and letting you see the place first-hand.

If you’re going to be in San Diego this summer, the Toronado isn’t too far from downtown. It’s in the North Park district (so named because it’s on the north side of Balboa Park), which is fun and funky and full of historic neighborhoods. (Pretty much any movie filmed in San Diego has some North Park locations in it.)

The Toronado’s address is 4026 30th St., San Diego, CA 92104. See you there!
