I visited a brewery today!

..or even yeasts. Yes, sure. But that pink berry beer didn't get its flavor from hops, I speculate...
(That being said, not that these beers are "bad", just not my preference is all).

I'm not offended lol I left the pink one and the pale ale on the table and went to the next bar without remorse

Atta girl, hope the offerings were better at the next bar.


Yesterday, my wife and I paid a visit to Chapman Crafted in Old Towne Orange, CA. My wife enjoyed a short pour of their Parlance of Our Times, an American Brown Ale infused with cocoa and orange. That was quite tasty, kind of like a fizzy tootsie roll. I had a pint of a nitro stout, Oats on the Water. It was OK, probably might have been better to my palate had it been normally carbonated. I picked up a 4-pack of cans of their Kool Kid Hops, a double IPA.

On the way out, the facility manager was kind enough to give me a quick tour of the brewery, which just received a new batch of conical fermenters sufficient to boost their production by 80%. I wish I had taken some pictures, maybe next time.

Well, ok, it was yesterday. And it is a brand new taproom, not really a brewery. But nice nonetheless! And 20 taps!

Looks like a nice repurposed space.

@Donoroto, I was there on Thursday. Walking distance from my house.
@Herm_brews, yes, it’s an old structure that was most recently a small playhouse, which has been sitting vacant for many years, adjacent to buildings from the civil war era.

MNF and a cold….pale ale. Who runs out of IPA?? good PA though

At Pizza Port Brewing Co. in San Clemente, CA. My wife is sipping Faceplant, a Belgian Tripel, while I’m drinking Cobra KaIPA. Good beers at a fantastic location near the beach.

Went to Bingo Brewing to try this Tusk Baltic Porter again. Even better on tap at the source. I'm trying to decide how they get the plum/dark fruit flavors...crystal 120? Special B? Extra special malt?

 

[GFHomebrew]

My bet Special B
