    Looks like they just tapped P4P at the CM location. Pours only. No crowler fills. Worth the visit to the outdoor patio for P4P.

    edit...forgot to add 2 new cans as well. Ones a hazy. The other a milkshake.

    40 minute wait.. Dummed down our taste buds at Salty Beer. Pliny for President was awesome. Got my case of Pliny for Pres this morning, cant wait.

    I JUST make the delivery cut. This is a fantastically dangerous turn of events. My wife literally said "oh, no" when I told her.

    Oh boy, I'm sorry you had to endure Salty Bear. Bummer that a place with such a fantastic outdoor space slings such average beer. Also, and not that this matters to everyone, but it was weird when we were there last and almost all of their staff had their masks under their chin. Being able to get Folks Pizza was the only positive draw.

    Just got around to grabbing Not a Vanity Project today and also blown away. Almost didn't get a pack but so nice to have a flavor besides hops!

    Can anyone confirm that each person has to order food on the GCToo patio?

    I was there on Saturday and they said whoever was drinking needed to be ordering food along with it. My wife and I split the chicken sandwich to start and didn't end up ordering anything else to eat after that and there was no issue with it as we ordered a couple of beers each. Not sure that helps, but it didn't seem to be an issue.

    It seems they are trying to stay true to the spirit of the requirement but not forcing it. Thanks.

    Placed an order to give them a try finally. Simple order Bier, Pils Titan and Sleepin’ In. Pils Titan was fantastic and wish I just ordered a full case of that.

    Stopped by the patio in Costa Mesa this afternoon. Had a great time and took some entrees and Timbo Pils to go. Was congratulated by multiple employees for picking up the Timbo. Lol.

    Lunch with some old high school buds at the GC patio. Pretty chill for muggy day. Grabbed some 4pks to go including 8-19 Timbo. The freshest Timbo yet. Unlike Pinball guy I wasn’t congratulated at all. Oh well.

    Drinking a can of The End is Just the Beginning right now. This stuff is killer! My favorite Strata beer from any brewery so far.

    I forgot to add I had a taste of Coconut Vanilla Plus along with my Aussie 4 Pale and meal. That was an amazing DIPA full of vanilla flavor along with a hint of coconut. I would never purchase this or anything milkshake IPA’s. Especially at 9%. My system can’t take milkshake IPA’s. But just a taste of this was all I needed.

    Just another stellar batch of DDH The Other Brian. Not that I need to try to convince any of you just how amazing this beer is.

    Cheers,

    So dangerously crushable.Green Cheek should re-name this beer after the classic Neil Young & Crazy Horse rocker " Dangerbird " Evan is in another league when it comes to crafting crushable higher ABV ales. Nelson and Citra in all their glory. Danger Will Robinson.

    Cheers,

    They gotta keep DDH Other Brian and Swim Test on constant rotation. Honestly two of the best NEIPAs I’ve ever had. Haven’t been over to Monkish in probably 8 or 9 months because GC has been satisfying all of my NEIPA needs.
