With the San Diego sunshine (most of the time) it's hard to beat this go-to Smile Spirits cocktail, Lemonade Tea is the perfect mixture of Black Tea with Lemonade with just the right amount of carbonation. At 7% ABV this does not drink like it!

Mitchell from Smile Spirits is back! As we get into spring time, there is no time like now to get into Smile Spirits. Bringing good news of more distribution in 2026, we start with an instant classic that was suppose to be a "season beverage" their Smile Espresso Martini.

Viscus is the best way to describe todays beer. At 18% ABV Gravitas Infinitum has it's own gravitational pull. Aged for three months in bourbon barrels pulled out, then agaed again in fresh bourbon barels, then agaed again in even more fresh bourbon barrels. Finally finished with Tahitian vanilla for the perfect ending the day or blasting off into the next 10 years.

Winslow from Pure Project loves his barrel program and you can taste the passion in the glass! Today showing off their Deja Fruit Barrel Aged Sour with Nectarines and Strata hops. What makes this farmouse saison truly uinique is the once-used necatrines that offer up a very subtle addition of flavor along with the light hop addition.

Toasting to ten years of Pure Project with another Anniversary beer you'll find on tap this weekend. Going back to the "murk" with Planetary Alignement Murky IPA, is like sipping a tropical drink in paradise. Big pineapple and mango flavors with subtle hints of orange peel.

Winslow from Pure Project drops a bomb on how many Pure Project beers will be on tap during thier Anniversary party on Saturday. It's no surprise they can feature 50 plus beers when they are constatly dropping seasonals like today's West Cost Pale called Sun Rays Like Stilts. Taking it's name from Tommy Guerrro the beer, like the song drifts on like a cloud on a calm breeze. Aromas of resin, citrus hit upfront while it instantly cleans up making way to the crushable Pale Ale on the back end.

Just another reason why its near impossible for a San Diego craft beer fan to completely make it through a "dry January," this weekend finds Pure Project celebrating their 10th Anniversary! All week Winslow from Pure Project joins us in the studio to talk about what you'll find on tap this weekend including today's beer, The Force West Coast Pilsner, brewed using an experimenal hop to showcase a bright citrusy yet peachy-pine profile with a light crips malt backbone.

After a week of celebration O'Brien's Tion weekend, its here! Only one beer can mark this mometious occation and that's a blend that Russian River and the O'Brien's crew put together for O'Brien's 25th Anniversary, say 'Hello' to Ovation and say 'Goodbye' if you miss it because the last kegs of it are on tap this weekend!

It is without a doubt the Grand Poobah for out of market IPAs, Russian Rivers Pliny the Elder is like a mark of honor at San Diego watering holes. Due to their strict policies on how their beer should be handeld, you'll only find it on tap in places that have high standards of excellence in their beers and O'Brien's is one of those spots! In fact outside of their Tion weekend its one of the few spots in town where you can almost all the time find it on tap.

O'Brien's Tion Weekend approaches and while it hightlights Russian River's "Tion" beers, the brewery also has a wide range of styles outside of their speciality Belgians. Today I get to try my first Russian River Hazy IPA and from what I already know about the brewrey it 100% lives up to expectations
