Beer.

I've been on a quest the last couple of years to find Spaten Oktoberfest - nary a bottle in the San Diego area.

This year, my local Total Wines had a single case in their last shipment - wasn't even out on the shelves yet. I took 2 6 packs home.

It may be a wee bit early for celebrating, but I'm enjoying a bottle this afternoon...it tastes like...Fall.

I get it from Binnys. Good stuff!

Spaten is one of the few Marzen style beers that I can drink a full glass of - it has good body and just a tiny bit of bite to offset the sweet malts.

I've got some New Glarus Limited Production Pilsner in the fridge. It is "da bomb". Tastes almost like sitting in the Kolsch Brau House in Cologne Germany. Really good stuff. But today I think I will be enjoying a wee bit of Scotch Single Malt Lowland variety

I’d reach for the Single Malt, too.

A good Friday afternoon, everyone!

We made a visit today to Embolden Brewing in the Miramar (aka 'beer-a-mar') area of San Diego.


Open air industrial tasting room, food trolley outside with pizza & sandwich selections, and inside a nice variety of beers.


We got a flight of 4 beers to try - all very good


Left to Right, Top to Bottom
Broken Record West Coast IPA
Brave The Hazy Double IPA
Swinging Cimco Hazy IPA
Swinging Mosaic Hazy IPA

Our favorites were the Broken Record and Brave the Hazy.

The margherita pizza was delicious!
