Tonight's agenda.

 

[Chipster27]

Me and Pronstar, and a couple other RDP'rs are part of a Craft Beer Lovers group on Facebook. Lots of awesome recommendations from many beer lovers in So Cal, AZ, NV, TX and a couple other places.

A couple weeks ago we had a "Camp Stout Out" in Escondido which included a growler share Friday night and a bottle share Saturday night. Some amazing beers were there! During the weekend a couple of us hit up Belching Beaver, Rip Current and Lost Abby/Port. Another round of good beers!

We should set up a brewery tour with the RDP gang. Maybe Vista/San Marcos/Escondido or Anaheim/OC.

What do you guys think?

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

I'm down. Or even a bottle share. There is a bunch of breweries in Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia real close together (within 5 miles of each other)

School me on sour ales. My wife and I went to the OC Brew HaHa 2 weeks ago and I had my first taste of a sour ale. It was a raspberry sour ale from a brewery in Anaheim called Hopparazzi (sp?). I'm not ashamed to admit, but it was fricken awesome! Quite the change up to the usual IPA'S that i am addicted too.

Sour's are the best... Great flavor and the pucker!!! Makes you enjoy every sip!! I was in love from my first sip:bowdown: And the Bruery makes great ones. my above post is a sour (Oude Tart).

I'm certainly in for a North OC swing. I got to taste a number of the local beers at the Bootleggers anniversary party at the Muckenthaler Center earlier this year, great time.

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

Valiant, Noble, Bottle logic, The Bruery, Bootlegger's, Anaheim brewery, and Phantom ales all with in about 5 miles of each other

Should think about giving these guys a try: http://brewhopbus.com. They just make a loop between most of the OC breweries. $20/person for the night.

 

[HEY YOU]

I hit Noble's maybe once a week

What's the raspberry colored beer? I've gone after work one time. My route is The City of Orange so it's very close.

I am down......lets plan it.

Even a better idea. I have 4 years of Firestone Anniversary's that I have been looking to tap into.......as well as some other things

Sours are my favorite. A good starter sour would be a Flemish Red or Flanders Red Ale. These can typically be found for a decent price. The only draw back to sours is that it becomes an expensive habit because some of the better sours out there (Bruery/Russian River) can be more than $25 / bottle and they are not big bottles either.

 

[DURAMAXYFZ]

3) Bucklers

It was an amazing "Sour Fest 2014" but I am finding that I have an allergy to one or a couple of Bruery sours. By the time we got through the sixth bottle I was having a full blown allergy attack. I tried to recall the last time it happened and my buddy reminded me that the same thing happened to me when we were at The Bruery tasting room a few months back. Anyway, took a Claritin and a couple shots of whiskey and I was good to go.

What a great night!!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Lunch at Stone in Escondido today after taking kids to Bates Nut Farm pumpkin patch.

I've never seen that one but I'm a fan of Firestone beers. Is that an Oaked beer? I'll have to look for it.

Yeah. It is fantastic. Had it at the OC Brew HAHA a couple years back and it was one of the best beers there. Find it!!

 

[Crazyhippy]

Oberon from Bells Brewery in Michigan is a solid every day beer.

I will look for it. There are a few places near me with a pretty good beer selection so hopefully I will track some down.

How is the new batch? It has diminished the last year or two. But I heard the owner stepped up and made the last batch.

My wife drinks that oberon. Its seasonal so we'll stock a few cases to get through winter.

 

[HEY YOU]

I personally like this better then the Knuckle Sandwich

 

[RodnJen]

It is solid. Not sure who made it. They seem to be releasing it a keg or so a little more frequently. They increased their production capacity and dropped the price of the Knuckle growler by $5.

I really like that too. Not better, for me, just different.

 

[HEY YOU]

For you guys in the Placentia area, there's a liquor store on Orangethorpe Ave between the 57 and the Brewery that sells a lot of god beer.

Between? I thought the Brewery backed up to the 57?

 

[dread Pirate]

Eel River Brewery has won over 300 medals worldwide for their beer. Possibly more than any other brewery? Not bad for a little brewery in Humboldt County.

Yes it does, but you take a small side street to get to it and on the corner of that side street is that liquor store, I will get the name of the store

Does anyone have the "Untapped" app? it lets you keep tract of the beer's you've had and what you thought of it. Also you can add friends and see what they are drinking and thinking of them.

Just had a Hangar 24 Local Fields Gourdgeous- a chocolate pumpkin porter. Different.
You smell the pumpkin and taste the chocolate.
