There's a lot of San Diego connections with Russian River including one part owner that calls Julian home. So, they make it a priority that The Pub at Lake Cuyamaca is always stocked with Russian River beer, more so this week as for SDBW they are featuring the Santa Rosa Brewery! One of the special beers on tap include this double dry hopped version of Pliny the Elder.

San Diego Beer Week is a tribute to the camaraderie amongs brewers from San Diego and beyond! Tonight O'Brien's celebrates that was a night to Kern River Brewing and friends! Lots of like-minded hop-forward brewers coming together to share the passion of their craft. Tom has brought one of the beers that fits into the bill, a collab with Brandon from SanDiegoBeer.News and McIlhenny Brewing called Highest Five IPA.

Leave it to San Diego to have an oddity like being home to possibly the only Schaerbeek Cheery grove outside of Belgium. Chad who's behind Lyon's Peak Brewing has painstakingly bought them to Jamul to focus on one time of beer, the Handgeplukte Kriek.

The first weekend of San Diego Beer Week is behind us, which means that we've got a full week of celebrating San Diego Beer left! Tom Nickle is back from O'Brien's to talk about all the different events you can be a part of starting with a fine selection from The Lost Abbey! Kicking off our week with a light freshing sour ale that showcases Peaches and White tea called Peach Afternoon.

It's the kick off of San Diego Beer Week! That means a lot of sharining and a lot of collaborations go do with all the local makers! To celebrate that BC and Scones from Kilowatt Brewing brought a collab with a former Division 23 Brewer called San Diego Dream Extra Pale Ale.

More then anything the Kilowatt crew loves to play with styles and flavors, they demonstrated that with the Pickel Beer...today BC and Scones brought a twist on the Gose style with Watermelon, Lime and a hint of Tajin. This beer may need a warning because it could be habit forming!

Playing with new hops is a brewers dream and we get the reap the rewards! The former "Experimental hop" got a new name, Dolcita so Kilowatt Brewing deicded to Live la Dolcita Loca with their new Hazy IPA. This peachy-pineappley Hazy give you all the juice with a dry and crushable finish.

It's a fad in the same way the hazy IPAs were once a fad! Today Scones and BC brought their take on a Pickle Beer, light bodied, slightly dilly with a little salinity and a WHOLE bunch of garlic. This beer is one that you'll either never touch after first sip or obsess over to the point of contemplaing your next tattoo.

The countdown to San Diego Beer Week is on! With the kick off on Friday, I figured it would be cool to have one of San Diego's more "energetic" brewies in for Last Call. Scones and BC from Kilowatt Brewing are back and swinging for the fences with their flagship IPA on a Monday. 250 KWH IPA is a 10 year old San Diego staple that rides the line between Old School and New School IPAs.

Truly a ghost of years past, one of the most beloved Double IPAs ended it's production run with Mother Earth Brewing, but the taproom in Vista is keeping the dream alive! Still brewing small batches of Hop Digitty, Andrew brought a growler of this strawberry-jam like IPA to toast Halloween with.
