Toolbox Brewing Co. - Vista, CA

Before this gets too hostile.. does the taproom have a TV? Displaced niner fan and want to grab some beers there tomorrow but also need to watch the game.

 

Yes we do have a TV

 

Thanks!

 

Apropos on sale this weekend, instangram

 

Picked up one bottle of each last night- honey, apropos and citrus gose. Tried purple drank and blueberry x and both were very tasty. For 8 bucks at 500 ml its a pretty nice deal. Just wish it wasnt such a traffic filled drive from downtown. Any chance bottles will be distributed around the city in the near future?

 

I wish they opened beforw 3 so I could hit the road before traffic started. I know it's a weird Vista law. Hopefully that changes eventually.

 

At one point the Vista Brewers Guild was active and trying to work in changing laws but I think that fell apart since I haven't heard anything about it.

 

Bottle Sales via BPT coming up on 11/9 http://m.bpt.me/event/2462502

 

Going to have to get some of those Purple Drink 500ml next time I'm there as well. Really curious how those special releases taste. If Berry Bewitching was an indication of anything, then a wine barrel aged version will definitely have my attention. The other one sounds a bit strange though, but could be interesting.

 

That Poinsettia beer sounds good awful

 

So I stopped in again today to see what's good. Autumn Bliss is tasting amazing right now, tried the Funky Wit and it was okay, not really mind-blowing but I'm not the biggest Wit fan though either. But seriously though, that Autumn Bliss I was sipping on with some other patrons, we all agreed that was really good.

 

Both of the bottles are still available right now. I'm a little surprised. Not so much surprised about poinsettia sitting, but more that autumn bliss.

 

Because Alesmith took all there money, or F5 will power.

 

Any folks that can compare Autumn Bliss to Berry Bewitching?

 

I haven't had Autumn Bliss but Berry Bewitching was a stainless fermented beer unlike AB.

 

Right. I've had Berry Bewitching and I loved that. Just looking for anyone who can compare the two.

 

There are a lot of releases and with V16 and the Speedway stuff ppl have a lot of options....I haven't been to Toolbox since Peter left. I want to go back and see how things are but I'm just not going to spend extra money on sours I can't try ahead of time.

 

I thought both were on draft last week? If not, they will be Wednesday. Toolbox typically lets you try before you buy.

 

A couple BA's have tried AB and said good things. I'm much more hesitant to buy Poinsettia blindly... From the looks of it, I'll be able to get it at the tasting room this weekend if it is good...
