Trip to San Diego

A personal story in the experience: I Love Good Beer
J ust went down to San Diego for the weekend.  Didn't have much time, but did check out a few things!

First, to take home, picked up a bottle of Serpent's Stout (Lost Abbey) and Speedway Stout (Alesmith).  I  didn't realize they sell Serpent's Stout up here in SF now, ah well.

I also made it to the Ballast Point brewery.  Tasted a few things there, brought home a bottle of their Victory at Sea coffee porter.  Had a taster of that, very interesting, you definitely taste the coffee in there.

Finally, figured I'd check out the new Toronado down there.  I  love the one in SF, so was excited to see this one.  Nice location, but I  felt the tap list didn't offer enough local brews (interestingly, they had a lot of bay area beers).  THeir bottle list was pretty impressive though!  Sadly, the place was pretty dead - at one point, I  counted, and there were only 8 people there, counting me . . . the bartender did say they're usually more busy, though!

I was in a bar in Kansas City a few weeks ago that had over 100 microbrews on tap. So much beer, so little time.

While I'm a fan of Belhaven Scottish Ale, if I had to choose just one beer to recommend, it would be Pilsner Urquell. There is also a good pils I had in Alberta a few years ago, that I thought was local to the province, but I forgot the name (too many beers, too many years).
