Listen to your beer!

This is pretty cool and worth a watch.  I wouldn't mind having one of these bottles, but I would have no way to play it.  I just wish they would put the same time and effort into the beer itself!

Flush!

This is too awesome!  Thanks to Matt Bilyeu for sharing the following on Facebook yesterday.

"I thought you guys would appreciate this.  This is the fizzy yellow beer dispenser at a new craft brew pub in Newhall, CA called Newhall Refinery!"

Pizza Port Bressi Ranch...

...opens tonight!  I posted about the new location here, and gave you a sneak peek at the interior and their cool fish tank addition here.  Now it's time to see it for yourself!  The following was posted on Facebook just a little bit ago.

"Soft opening of our new Bressi Ranch location is finally here!!!!!  Tonight.  You.  Us.  And some delicious grub and grog  :-)  See you at 5pm."

Right on!

Sweet!

Monday is starting to look up!

The Brewery Project: BNS

 

Open for just over a week, BNS Brewing & Distilling Co. already seem to have a good thing going.  Instead of starting small and building from there, they decided to burst out of the gate as a homebrew supply store, brewery, and distillery all at the same time.  As ambitious as that may sound, East County appears to be welcoming them with open arms and thirsty gullets, as evidenced by their packed soft opening last Saturday.  The expansive interior leaves plenty of room for growth, while the outside beer garden provides lots of space to enjoy your beer along with sunshine and fresh air.  I was most impressed, though, by the bar.  It features a decorative strip of copper running its entire length.  At least I thought it was decorative.  It actually has copper cooling lines running beneath it, providing a chilled spot to set your glass so that it maintains the proper drinking temperature the whole time.  That's attention to detail!  A detail I've not seen anywhere else.  I was also impressed by the beer.  I particularly liked their Revolver American IPA, so named for the 6 different hop varieties used in the brew, like the six bullets found in a revolver.  Clever and delicious.  The tasting room is open every day, as I believe all tasting rooms should be, so it's easy to find the time for a visit.  Their grand opening is set for June 22nd, which I'm sure will be a good time.  Check them out now or wait for the grand opening.  I recommend sooner rather than later, but don't worry, they're not going anywhere.

It's the weekend, have a second!
