The 30th Street landmark was even more crowded than usual as San Diego Beer Week<\/a> chugged through midweek with a Kern River\/Alpine Night at Toronado<\/a>.\u00a0 Kyle Bergman of The Lodge at Torrey Pines and Luca Banfi of Tender Greens were discussing mouth-watering recipes over IPA pints. Brewers Guild President Adam Carbonell popped in as the Alpine Team were enjoying their seemingly never-ending happy hour event.\u00a0 A bit later, the TapHunter Tweetup crew flowed in from the West Coast Tavern<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eric and Rebecca of Kern River Brewing Company<\/a> were also in the house to showcase their Citra Double IPA, Class V Stout, Class X Stout and the just outstanding Just Outstanding IPA, which was named after a famous mountain biking trail in Kernville – hence the tree-hanging bike on the label.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kern River on tap is an experience in itself.\u00a0 The Citra was even tastier than I had imagined (and been told), and the Class X was heaven in a glass.\u00a0 The bottles<\/a>, though, tell an interesting story.\u00a0 Each label has an illustration of a miner and a donkey which pays homage to Kernville’s mining history.\u00a0 As the story goes, the donkey got lost one day and gold was found during the search.<\/p>\n

The celebratory vibe saw strangers and friends alike sharing and trying each others’ beers.\u00a0 A glass of The Lost Abbey’s Cable Car Ale even made it our way.\u00a0 While Alpine<\/a> is obviously a favorite here in town, the fact that Kern River came down for the event was another clear-cut example of the quality that San Diego locales like Toronado attract.\u00a0 At this rate, making it through Sunday will be quite the accomplishment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
