Brendan and James from Coronado Brewing keep digging up classics, another I forgot about they brought today! Guava Islander! Take everything we had from Islander and throw a subtle but not overpowering amount of guava in it. The combination of everything makes this beer dangerous enough to sip until you forget what day it is!
Tonight's beer was a true pioneer of what is now the San Diego IPA. Before Islander IPA malt bills were darker and hops were more bitter. CBC brewer James explains what makes Islander so special in the history of San Diego beers.
This is one of those beers that defines "cult classic," Coronado Brewing's Mermaid Red was one of their first and most beloved of core beers back when the brewery opened 30 years ago. Now it only come out for special occations, like tonight.
Anniversary beers with the CBC! Coronado Brewing is throwing it back for their 30th year! They are bringing back some of thier most beloved cult favorite and we're gonna get the inside scoop on all of it. First, Brandon and James start things out ligth with a favorite staple, the beer formerly known as Orange Ave Wit, now just known as Orange Ave.
It just worked out that Roadies first barrel aged beer rolls out in time for anniversary #2 on Saturday. Peter and Sean bring a beer inspired about a sandwitch you migh find more freqently at a Midwest football party then the charcuterie board you'd find on the West Coast. Be honest have you ever had a Fluffer Nutter?
This one comes with a small warning, ABV may be higher than it appears! Sean and Peter from Roadies are back again with thier staple, San Diego Common other wise know as the Double IPA called Headbander Double IPA.
It took till midweek to get to the reason for Sean and Peter from Roadies to drop by, with the big 2nd Anniversary this weekend we've got to talk about their Anniversary beer. Peter gave us a sly hit yesterday about this Citra bomb they call Now! That's What I Call An Anniversary Vol2.
I thought they brought the wrong beer when Peter from Roadies told me that this was a Pale Ale, there's just too much hops in the aroma of this beer! He and Sean explain what makes Pocket Pale Ale so special for tonight's Rock & Roll Happy Hour Last Call.
It's a big week for Roadies Brewing as this weekend they celebrate their 2nd anniversary and with a lot planned we've got a lot to talk about with Sean and Peter from Roadies. We start with a beer that plays into what they do a lot of in the tasting room, live music. today's collab with local muscians The Brothers Grim is a great Mexican Lager called Noche Emo.
All week Mo from Deft Brewing has been going easy on us with the ABV, well he just cranked it up to 11 with his DeftCon 4 Belgian Quad but he does it in Deft style...a ton of flavor and still very clean and dry on the back end.
Being in San Diego there is a understanding that IPA's a must have in the tap room, but when you focus on more old world style beers how do you satisfy that craving? The answer is. in the most Deft way possible as Mo from Deft Brewing gives us a little of something old with a little of something San Diego with Deft Hop Golden.
It's like Mo from Deft Brewing had a Machiavellian plan when I mentioned this beer on Tuesday. He knew, what he was doing when he brought MacDeft Scottish Eport today.
