March 10, 20196 yr I’m not a coconut fan normally, but all of these guys’ coconut beers slam. They do a stout modeled after Almond Joy that’s killer.It’s two former Toppling Goliath brewers, and the tap room is a block from the original TG taproom. These guys are just killing it. Some of the best beer in the Midwest right now.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkCoconut Bbomb is still one of the best beers I have had the past couple of years.
March 10, 20196 yr Drinking draft Logsdon in Portland, imo. You get one of the BB Double Stacks while in town?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
March 10, 20196 yr Central Coast California for Spring Break. Decided I will post random beer pics as I see fit. You will be witnesses. Monterey

March 11, 20196 yr Are you ever not on vacation mdl? It’s a state of mind. Speaking of...Big Sur beers:
March 11, 20196 yr It’s a state of mind.Or as we say out here, it's a Golden State of mind.Seriously, you should probably just move here.

March 11, 20196 yr pFreim is great, and the park across the street is nice for kids. Double Mountain on the other side of the freeway has some great pizza and beer as well.
March 12, 20196 yr Spent the day looking at elephant seals, Hearst Castle, Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo and playing on Pismo Beach with the family. Now, down to the beer highlights in between.Checked out Central Coast Brewing in SLO. Pretty decent slate of beers. Had Pliny on tap maybe half a block from the Pismo Beach pier, which is nice. As an aside, it also seems that enough Younger was made this year that this bar in Pismo actually got a keg, which was apparently the first time ever the area got any. Back in Morro Bay where we are staying I quickly checked a couple of bottle shops and scored a couple of these. Had dinner at Libertine Brewing which also has their own and guest beers. Cool, funky place that spins vinyls and which also happens to have one hell of a view from their bar. Bonus points for their shade throwing game:

March 12, 20196 yr Excuse my W Coast Breakside ignorance. Is “What Rough Beast” a joke about NEIPA on the West Coast? Seems like a W B Yeats reference should be reserved for something darker, imo
March 13, 20196 yr Back up to Monterey by way of Carmel. Checked out the new Alvarado Street-affiliated brewery/bar called Yeast of Eden in Carmel. Reminded me very much of Jester King beers (sours, saisons, etc) just served not in a farm setting like JK but rather an upscale place in an upscale outdoor mall. Very tasty beers though somewhat unusual location for them. Later on in the day we swung by the Fieldwork tap yard to hang out and kill time in between the always excellent Monterey Bay Aquarium and dinner. Love that tap yard setup.

March 14, 20196 yr I am down in New Braunfels and went to refill my growler (Growlerwerks 128) and the gal at the bar said I need to have a label on it per some new TABC regulation that went into law within the past 6 months. She said the required label is similar to the warning label on a hard alcohol bottle. I did a google search and couldn’t find anything about this being required... anyone point me to this regulation? (She still filled my growler but it’s news to me...)
March 14, 20196 yr In addition to good beers (& good food at their brewpub), Alvarado Street has good can art.
March 14, 20196 yr Yes! Still one of the best breweries in Oregon.reminds me how affordable it is to drink beer in oregon

I soaked a label off a wine bottle and put it on my growler for my next refill...
March 15, 20196 yr Author Not bad. Three breweries and a good bar/beer store downtown all within walking distance of each other.
March 15, 20196 yr Author Also a couple of growler places outside downtown. Aside from that it’s mostly old people and meth.
