    So this is an up and coming beer company here in San Diego, located in North County. Went here for the first time about two months ago after sampling one of their IPA's at Obrien's. ( it was the Debut IPA if anyone is wondering) They seem to be really intertwined into the industry as they have collaborations with Bruery, Obriens, Alpine, Strauss, Saint Archer a few others that I cant think of right now and are one of the few places in San Diego with a beechwood account.

    Never got to meet anyone from there just yet, but I have to say that the beer curator and brewmaster is one of the best in the city. The draft menu and bottle list, well...lets just say I wish my fridge was stocked with most of it. really well thought out and just really really good beers from around the way.

    I think its only a matter of time before you start hearing about them more, so just wanted to start a thread for any other fans or anyone interested in trying and talking about their beers and restaurant.

    from their about us page:
    We are Abnormal Company, San Diego's first Brewery, Winery and Fine Restaurant, and we're setting out to add to the wonderful beer community in our city.

    Head brewer Derek Gallanosa has embraced the Abnormal Company ethos of freely mixing classic methods with creative departures from the standard with his own brewing expertise. The delectable result flows from the taps at The Cork and Craft along with dozens of well curated craft beers. Together with the wine selection from Abnormal Wine Company and the world class cuisine on offer, the combined Abnormal experience has truly come into its own.

    I had M2 at Churchills Finest Hour release and it was one of the best beers I had that day.

    Agreed. I actually liked it more than Churchill's '14 and '15 to be honest, yeah I know it's BA vs non-BA...still.

    Great. Let's make sure as many people know as possible so the ticket website will be extra slow and annoying. Thanks, Dan Patrick.

    Yup. New money. I am young and have money so I can buy whatever beer I want. I'll max out, without even thinking about it. So will my wife.

    Cool, I hope it's good. Just a tough price for a beer that hasn't seen the inside of a barrel.

    I haven't been in the "rare" beer game for several years now, so excuse my lack of knowledge when it comes to going rates for beers.

    $17 for a 500mL non-BA stout seems like a pretty hard pill to swallow considering bottles of a beer like Infinite Wishes were somewhere around $14 and that beer is awesome.

    Almost every thread these days includes crying about price. I wonder if they do that in the Porsche forums.

    Looks like the vanilla bean shortage is already affecting the beer industry... :wink:

    We even have a 2016er talking about HYPE.

    Derek is fucking talented and this beer was the best thing poured at the CFH release. I'm looking forward to supporting them.

    I heard rumors of this being barrel aged in the future.

    Tickers would buy bottled Flint tap water if it was infused with nilla beans.
