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!

Posted Jul 15th, 2009 at 10:15PM 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). | |
