Please make me stop going here

Every time I go to the Morena Club, I wake up the next morning and swear I’m never going there again. But then a couple-three weeks pass and I find mice elf going back for more.
There are many things about the Morena Club that draw me to it and/or push me away. It’s convenient for where I [...]

Wet hop heaven

If I were to pick a favorite beer-drinking day from 2007, it would have to be the wet hop festival at O’Brien’s. Regular readers of this blog (hi, grandpa!) know that I love wet hop beers, and the lineup at O’Brien’s last year was simply outstanding.
This year’s wet hop weekend might not top last year’s [...]

Slow ride

The other night Mrs. Beer & Burritos and I popped in to The Linkery in North Park and found one of the more unusual beer lists around, along with perhaps the highest beer prices I’ve ever seen.
The Linkery is a different kind of place. It does the whole slow food thing, for one. It also [...]

Sierra Nevada Super 7

With 50 taps, some award-winning house brews and my favorite bartender in town (Tyson), the San Diego Brewing Co. is always worth going to. And if you go there this week, you can try a special release from Sierra Nevada, an imperial pilsner called Super 7.
Here’s some background on Super 7, courtesy of Brewsky at the Bar:

Liars’ Club – Hamilton’s shuttle

I still haven’t forgiven the Liars’ Club for leaving San Diego and moving to Alpine. It used to be an enjoyable and convenient stop when it was in Mission Beach, and now it’s like 40 minutes away. Not good for a place that carries so many delicious and strong beers.
The good news is that on [...]

Toronado San Diego

A new bar called Toronado has opened in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood. It’s a spinoff of the popular Toronado in San Francisco. It specializes in craft beer and offers 50 taps and an extensive bottle list. I had high hopes for this place, but after going there the other night, it’s hard to imagine going [...]

The Aero Club

Every time I go to the Aero Club, I wonder why I don’t go more often.
It’s got a good draft beer selection. We’re talking Racer 5 and Red Rocket from Bear Republic; Stone Pale Ale, IPA, Levitation and Arrogant Bastard; the comfort food of San Diego beers, Alesmith X; and some boring stuff like Boddington’s, [...]

Starlite Lounge

When it comes to bars and/or drinking, I’m usually all about the beer. There are so many good beers to be had around San Diego that I never get bored with them, and it’s a rare occasion that I have any kind of cocktail.
The Starlite Lounge is a good place for those rare occasions. The Starlite [...]
