San Diego Beer Week (SDBW) 2014

Spelunker is a brown ale, not a sour.

 

Never been to Sublime before this evening. Nice place, decent tap list. The Belching Beaver chocolate pairing was quite delicious as well, although I gave away my chocolate to the better half and just drank pb milk stout and the imperial horchata all night.

Edit: My real concern is that I have nothing planned for tomorrow (Tuesday) night. I was hoping to bat 1000 on events/# of days this beer week, but I think tomorrow may be an off night.

 

It sucks that there is only SDBW 52 times a year.

 

Such a travesty, what do?

 

I went to Churchill's and tried the Victory at Sea variants. Coconut had no discernible coconut flavor. Four Rose and Rye were good and taste as you would expect. Thin mint was pretty good too, not overpowering on the mint. Maple was a bit too cloying for my taste, but would probably be considered good if you like the maple a lot.

 

Went to Hamilton's with a couple friends and did the VaS variants as well. Really enjoyed the maple bourbon, horchata, and the peanut butter. We all thought the mint was too minty and the orange/fennel we didn't finish either. Overall a solid first visit to Hamilton's.
