Moving to the valley

Eureka Burger has a nice taplist as well as Charlie Jewell's. Hangar 24 and Ritual are out there.

 

Good luck. I was out that was for work for a few months off and on. Here is what you have available in the immediate area:

* Hangar 24
* Ritual
* Donkey Punch
* Eureka Burger
* Charlie Jewell's

You are going to have to travel outside of the Redlands/San Bernardino area for other options.

 

The San Fernando Valley is the only CA valley that can be called "the valley" every other valleys needs to be specified.

 

All Valley's need to be specified. I thought the poor guy meant Bakersfield.

 

Inland Empire is more accurate... about 30 minutes away in Corona near the 91/15 junction is El Cerrito. It's probably the best bottleshop in the area. I have a suspicion you may be a frequent shopper there.

 

Napa Valley is the only 'Valley'

 

Yeah, Redlands is not even close to "The Valley".

Ritual, Hangar 24, Eureka Burger, and Charlie Jewell's.

Avoid Donkey Punch unless you absolutely need to try their uniques.

 

What's the deal with this store? Do you have to go through the owner each time for all your purchases? I hit this place up for the first time. There's some great stuff there to be sure, but I was interested in purchasing a Surette, which wasn't on the shelf, but was in some kind of case in the corner of the "behind the counter" area. Since it just started hitting the area last week, I didn't think it would be a big deal but apparently it was since the clerk didn't want to sell me any, saying it was a part of the owner's personal stash. I left quite irritated to say the least.

 

I grew up in Fresno. Never going back to the Valley.

 

Is there seriously a brewery called Donkey Punch?!

 

I live in Redlands as well. The bars/breweries that were mentioned already are good places to hit up. But if you're looking for some good bottle shops, hit up Olive Ave market (coffee shop with a smaller selection of beers, but always something good. Plus they'll get Pliny in once a month). Gerrards market has a bigger selection and they've really started to get some great stuff in. Riverside has La Bodega, which is a pretty awesome bottle shop as well.

 

Sure is.... No joke

And their beer is about as good as you'd expect.

 

This sounds like an interesting variant on the donkey punch. Instead of actually hitting the bottom/recipient in the back of the head, you have them drink a Donkey Punch beer instead.

 

The taps in the tasting room are actually in the shape of a head. The bartender punches the back of the head an the "tap" tightens up and expels the beer. Novel idea.
