Happy Saturday, everyone! :) Went to Ballast Point Brewery/Restaurant yesterday for a late lunch and brews. Enjoyed a flight (right to left) Fathom IPA, Sculpin, Aloha Sculpin, and the Manta-Ray Double IPA The only difference between their flagship Sculpin and the Aloha Sculpin was the...

Check to see if the barrel section is out of round and check if the upper grate can wobble and fall in. I had that happen on my WSM with a rib cook. :oops::confused:

I'm in. (y)

Happy Sunday, everyone! Enjoying a quiet Sunday at home and one of the Stone Beers from Friday's visit to their Escondido brewery Hop Engineer w/ Riwaka single hop

Finally made it to Stone Brewing up in Escondido - it's been on my list of breweries to visit for a long time. Big full service restaurant, gift shop, brewery, and outside gardens. Looks empty but everyone was sitting outside enjoying a nice day and overlooking the garden/pond area -...

Happy Friday everyone! Found a new to me brewery in the Miramar area in San Diego (aka "Beer-a-Mar"). Fall Brewing - used to be the location for St Archer Brewing located in an industrial park area. Generous selection of beers, relaxing tasting room with a chill vibe, 80's punk/new wave sound...

I have a very distinct memory of that - I'm still recovering from that one.

From an age long ago, practically lost in the mists of time and distant memory... Mickey's wide mouth comes in 6paks - that's a lot of pizza dough ;)

Went to Alesmith Brewing Co yesterday - one of the older craft beer establishments in San Diego. Nice day, small crowds, cool vibe. Sampled a flight while munching on sandwiches we brought (outside food ok, but food trucks do show up later in the afternoon). Came home with a growler of...

Every brewery I've been to in San Diego that doesn't serve food is ok with outside food. Most of the smaller breweries have contract food service like food trucks or limited kitchens for simple (but tasty) foods - even they still allow outside food. The big breweries like Karl Strauss or...

Had an adventure yesterday visiting Lightning Brewing in Poway. Tucked away, practically hidden in an industrial park complex. Very small tasting room, we were they only ones there at opening. Friendly owner/brew master. We sampled a flight while munching on In-n-Out burgers we picked up on...

Happy Holidays! Yesterday's 5-bone 14lb roast My son caught this nice shot in the afternoon light.

If I had to pick 3: White Christmas Christmas Story It Happened on 5th Ave

As long as you ask your son to try a piece plain first before going to the sauce. ;)

From some of your other posts it looks like you are a 'seasoned' CI user - so I'd use that to cook your son's first steak on. :) My recommendation would be to go New York strip as it still has vg beef flavor and can have good marbling as a rib eye - while having a slightly firmer texture than a...

Happy Friday! Went to a local brewery in the San Diego area (Clairemont Mesa/Convoy) call Hopnonymous A nice selection of drafts on the board The flight of six we selected Industrial/Warehouse Rollup Door vibe and feel, but relaxed, chill and fun. We can home with a growler of the Ice...
