Don't let the name Zwicklbier scare you, it's just an unfiltered Pilsner!  If you ask Jeff from Ballast Point all the "turbidity" it where the flavor is at...find out for yourself and what San Diego spot in Balboa Park this beer was named after is all about.

We end a fantastic week of celebration with a celebration beer!  Originally created for the 25th Anniversary of O'Brien's we pop the cork on this Lost Abbey monster and toast to 30 years of O'Brien's and their standing as The best beer bar in America. 

Another day, another reason why O'Brien's managed to take the top spot in USA Today's Best Beer Bar in America!  Today we get into the respect and reverence this San Diego institution has had for Belgian Style beers.

Half way thru this week and neither Tyson or Tom from Brien's is slowing down!  We continue the celebration of O'Brien's taking the top spot in USA Today's best beer bar in America with a bold citrus forward Blood Orange IPA from Nickel Beer and a mind blowing plate of Ahi Nachos to go along with it.

Continuing our celebration of O'Brien's taking the #1 spot as Best Beer Bar in the USA we sample a local IPA from storied brewers McIlhenny with their new Parallel Paradise IPA and O'Brien's famous wings with a sauce dedicated to a well loved craft beer ambassador and foodie, Nate Soroko.

Last week O'Brien's Pub got named best bar in the country by USA today and became of that that all week we celebrate this awesome San Diego institution! We kick off a Monday with a beer that has just a proud place in IPA culture as O'Brien's it's self, Russian River Pliny the Elder and an amazing Hummas place from the kitchen.

Another benefit to having their Vista tasting room open is that you can now dip into the archives of past special releases like the big barrel aged monsters that are 4 Seasons beers.  We end this week with the 2021 edition of Coconut Cake Imperial Stout.

Another tasting room only creation!  Playing with beers and blending styles together is truly what makes a happy brewer.  Now that Mother Earth Brewing has their tasting room open you can share in these experimental creations like todays very aggressive West Coast IPA called Hop Syndicate.

The whole premise of the Rock & Roll Happy Hour was to pair amazing craft beers with amazing tunes.  Mother Earth does a similar version of this with their Project X series, except they pair amazing craft beers with amazing artists for the labels.  This Hazy IPA called Urban Solace is their latest edition of the series. 

Originally brewed when the Treefort Music Festival tapped Mother Earth Brewing now available outside the music festival.  Timber Giant is a crushable low ABV Pale Ale with an aggressive dry hop putting it perfectly right between a Pale Ale and IPA that you can easily drink all day.
