Part of starting a brewery is knowing what you want to be known for, for Erik at Good Pressure Brewing it's a beer he's been constantly building in his head for the last 15 years. Say "hello" to Good Pressure Brewing Blonde, a beer that grabs the best parts of multiple categories to make one ridiculously drinkable all day kind of beer.

Two things Erik from Good Pressure Brewing likes to focus on are drinkability and having options for all, with today's Limeade Hard Seltzer he demonstrates both! An easy drinking 5% AVB Hard Seltzer with real lime makes this a very "Zippy" beverage on tap and a great selection for any non-beer drinker that finds their way into the taproom.

Wrapping up Last Call for 2025 with a brewery to watch for 2026! Started by Erik and his wife, Good Pressure Brewing in Grantville is cranking out great vibes and great beers to serve East County and their local nbhd. This week we'll get into this new spot that just opended thier doors at the start of December and we'll start with a traditional German Pilsner.

Santa Tom brought a stocking stuffer! A bonus beer he brought out after our last tasting. Taking a trip down south to La Cerveceria Minerva for their Stout that hits with flavors that you can't find in San Diego.

It's only fitting since in the past Tomme Arthur held down Beer Santa responsiblities that Tom Nickel brings a Lost Abbey beer to end the week of Santa Tom's Christmas Beers. A rich barrel aged Old Ale that delievers on big dark fruit charactereists and a lot of booze. A great beer to age or as Tom puts it, gift to a friend and then invite yourself over when they open the bottle.

This is the absolute MUST HAVE Belgian Christmas Ale. It's the liquid form of fruit cake; full bodied, furity with zesty season aromas, St Bernardus Christmas Ale is the perfect co-pilot for holiday adventures just mind the ABV.

Santa Tom is upping his game again for our hump-day Wednesday! Showcasing what expert barreling can do to an already amazing stout, pouring out Nickel Beer's 12th Anniversary Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.

Santa Tom Nickel is back with more Christmas cheer from across the pond! A legendary brewery Huyghe Brewry in Melle, Belgium that's known from it's pink elephants on the bottle of Delirium gives us this amped up version of the infamous Belgian blonde with Delirium Noel. Smooth and full of dark fruit flavors it's hard to beleive that this beer hits at 10% AVB.

It's holiday beer time and Tom Nickel aka Santa Tom has swung in with his best wears from O'Brien's and Nickel Beer Company! All week he's making the yule time beery with choice slections like this perfect San Diego Christmas beer from Brasserie Dupot called Avec Les Bon Voeux. Intense aroma of ripe banana with a hint of citrus and baking spices.

Breathe deep of the terroir of El Cajon! Naturally fermented from the Burning Beard Cool Ship, In Praise of Flanders is the Beard's answer to other more syurpy flanders, the tiny bubbles and cherry sweetness dance on your palate with a subtle earthiness that can only be East County.
