    A BCBS-Parabola comparison would be pretty cool. Too bad this place started with such a black mark.

    Yep, pricey ($10 for 9oz), but how often do you get a chance our here?

    Damn! I didn't know that! I had originally planned to stay home to study for finals, but you've convinced me to go to Carlsbad instead.

    The new karma status classes are becoming an interesting feature.

    Wow Bourbon County Brand Stout seems to be something a lot of people like. I guess I'll seek it out! Thanks!

    Thanks for the heads up! We need more threads like this. Got both today (both were great, parabola was way more mellow/ smooth then expected)--thanks again!

    This thread is incredibly confusing. It's like a meta-thread. I can't tell who's trolling who, and who's just ignorant. I love it.

    I live near Bosscat (mentioned in this thread) but had never heard of it. I looked them up on Facebook and saw in addition to BCBS they had Knuckle Sandwich on tap so I thought I'd give it a try.

    I met my buddy there in Sunday afternoon expecting it to be quiet. Boy was I wrong! The parking lot was full and the house music was blasting. There were 2 bouncers at each door. My buddy and I took one look at each other and decided to open up a BCBS at home.

    Is this place always a club or was this just a Sunday Funday thing? I know I sound old and crumodgeony but I just didn't like the club atmosphere for craft beer bar.

    It just opened up a couple of weeks ago. But i assume so. i also live near by and saw it on tap hunter. I was there on a midweek afternoon and it was quite and nice. I do think that they are going for that vibe on the weekends/evenings. i talked to the beer guy and he said they are looking to keep a good mix of beers on. asked him to get some sours on.

    Nice to have a place near by with a good tap list .

    Bosscat's grub looks and sounds promising. I've only had the red velvet churros (solid).

    It's also in a location that doesn't have much craft beer options, so that's a definite plus.

    They got some cougar's den potential. Not sure if that's a plus or minus..

    I stopped by Bosscat today and they still have BCBS on draft. Nice place with a good menu. No bouncers at 1pm on a Tuesday.
