PTY San Diego

That's the way to do it.

 

today will be a shit show at toro. sunday morning announced ahead of time lol

 

Line at Toro already down the street.

 

Enjoy!

 

Hearing some awesome stories of line cutting. One guy says he was 25 deep, then 45 deep later. Line cutters - you are little bitches. I'm sitting at home eating a sammich. Fuck tappings announced days in advance.

 

Line cutting happens because most Californians are too meek to do anything about it.

 

You can't win either way. Start a fight over beer? Lose lose.

 

Anyone else notice Toronado bumped the price for PtY from $8 to $10?

 

Yep. Oh well. O'briens still @ $8. $10 for their charity keg. O'briens is a fucking mess though, it isn't setup for crowds at all. At least Toro has a somewhat wide space between the bar and the tables.

I don't understand the smokers at O'briens. Cigarettes + IPA? How to ruin the notes of the beer 101.

 

I have never understood why they announce these tappings in advance. Almost every place i have been to in the Bay Area where they announce in advance leads to huge lines of non regular out of towners who drain the keg and then head out the minute it is cashed. Total bullshit.

I wish more bars went the route of setting aside tickets or pours for regulars and shutting out the out of town, non regular hipster bros who go from bar to bar draining the kegs. Barclays in Oakland did that this morning and it was excellent. The bartenders dont know you then no Younger for you. Pretty classic to watch medium size groups of dudes exit the bar and head back to their cars without buying a thing (even though 30 other beers on tap) after being told there will be no younger for them.

 

Day of announcement ftw. Usually results in a laid back atmosphere where everyone can relax for 3 hours and drink as much PtY as they want.

 

It shouldn't come to a fight. If you get a critical mass of people behind the cutter giving the cutter crap, they often will choose to do the right thing.

 

100% agree. You do not need to fight the asshole or "holes". I am from Boston, I am very loud and I hate lines (I also live in San Diego). I see some one cut I will call them out. They want to fight me after I call them out...I will have everyone in that line backing me up. Try me bro #tryme

 

I am definitely going to cut in front of you at CFH

 

If you bring him some of that coffee, I suspect he'd gladly claim that you were in his party.

 

San Diego Brewing Co.
New on tap: Russian River Pliny the Elder
We will be tapping our keg of Russian River Pliny the Younger on Saturday February 23 beginning at 10 am.

 

Too bad there aren't enough bars with the balls to tap their PtY keg unannounced. Nothing beats drinking a handful of pours before the bartender tweets the tap. Then you happily watch all the knuckleheads roll in.

 

unannounced pty tapping in san diego at this very moment. right... now.

 

what is the point of saying its tapped somewhere then not sharing the information? thats not very good advocacy

 

OMG You are so cool!
