Hi beer lovers, happy Friday!
vacation has interfered with my news gathering. I've got nothing. When in doubt play the theme song:
I've spent the last two evenings with family, doing very little today before traveling home tomorrow. I'm in Ventura CA, soon to head for the best local tavern, "Barrelhouse 101". Highly recommended if you come this way. There's one brewpub, Anacapa, that's been around a long time; 2 other small brewers available in pubs and stores locally, Island and Surf.
Tomorrow's plan includes lunch and beer at the Firestone pub in Paso Robles, conveniently halfway home. A year ago I stopped there and unexpectedly met people from my homebrew club. I doubt Jim will be there to buy me lunch this time but I confidently expect great beer and a very good burger. If you ever get to one of the Firestone pubs try the Unfiltered Double Barrel Ale.
I'm drinking Ballast Point Big Eye IPA. No I'm not, it's empty. Time to go out.
What are you drinking? Who's brewing?
