Oh man….side pull drafts are freaking awesome.
Tonight’s Happy Hour choice….CCCClear IPA from Hop Butcher. Obviously lives up to its name and it is delicious. Hoppy, slight bitter finish, not too sweet / juicy.

About 12 miles from the end of my ride yesterday I enjoyed one of these.

An all-time classics right there….
Was in Monterey to celebrate daughters birthday, went to Fishwife her favorite restaurant in Pacific Grove. Forgot how much I love the English Ales they have on tap. Had this one:
described as “well balanced malty ale with loads of flavor” at 6.7% ABV. Loved it. Hard to find good malty ales with so much shelf space stacked high and wide with IPAs. I’ve had some of the other beers, loved those too.
Highly recommended.

A couple of beers for me today. An Inferno to start.
A nice fruity ale but a bit of a plain glass and the pub had a guest beer Asahi so I tried it.

Oni Hoppy Lager from Old Irving Brewery….fantastic. A nice crossover beer. Hoppy flavor with the a light, crisp lager finish.
I bought it earlier this week when I was downtown for a meeting and we went to the brewery for lunch….and of course I had a flight while there.
A hazy, a red ale, a Scotch ale and a Mild English ale.
This was our view while we ate….

Nice! I’m a 10 minute bike ride from there; just had dinner with my wife there last weekend. The grilled octopus is awesome.

Oh yeah…can confirm re: the grilled octopus. Delicious!!
Big fan of OIB….one of my top 3 local breweries, along with Hop Butcher and Maplewood.
nice one; that’s a popular choice when I know I’m gonna have more than one or two
Alesmith is one of my favorite all-around breweries. Their Speedway Stout is legendary and the Vietnamese Coffee version is one of my all-time favorites!

I was super impressed with everything I tried at True Anomaly Brewing in Houston, a brewery where the brewmasters and owners are literal NASA Rocket Scientists.
This Modern Times Hazy DIPA is near perfect, imo

My brother-in-law is a huge baseball fan, so 394 pale ale is always in his fridge!
