Friday, November 12th:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Midweek beer events had taken their toll on their craft beer faithful, but it seemed as though most got their second wind by the second Friday.\u00a0 One of the most popular events was held at 10 pm at Eleven <\/a>on the 12th<\/sup>, when the Yeastie Boyz, a self-proclaimed “All Star Beer Band” composed of members of the San Diego Craft Beer Community, took to the stage after just two practices.\u00a0 Slide guitarist Greg Peters of Pizza Port OB<\/a> admitted he could only make it to one, but it didn\u2019t show. The Boyz rocked the house with a mix of blues-rock-funk that could be paired with any beer, as proven by a couple band members who rocked the beer trenches with an Eleven staple: PBR tallboys.<\/p>\n

Lead singer Dave Dick of Hamiltons<\/a> took time between each song to make a toast, and then informed us, \u201cOur music is available, well, nowhere.\u00a0 This is probably the last time you\u2019ll see us.\u201d\u00a0 Although we hope that\u2019s not true, this group of guys making music freely together is evocative of the way that San Diego has gotten into the habit of collaborating, not competing.<\/p>\n

Like they had been doing all week, Toronado<\/a> was also putting on quite the show with their taps.\u00a0 Green Flash was one of the featured happy hour breweries, and being a UCSB graduate, I was elated to see Goleta\u2019s Hollister Brewing available as well.\u00a0 Right down the street, El Take It Easy\u2019s<\/a> Ballast Point<\/a> Lagerfest didn\u2019t disappoint either, and owner Jay Porter was enjoying the festivities.\u00a0 The style of this hip 30th<\/sup> Street spot is unique to say the least.<\/p>\n

Pacific Beach culture at Bikes, Boards and Brews<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

West Coaster was on hand as a media sponsor for the 2nd<\/sup> Annual Bikes Boards and Brews<\/a> event held at The Catamaran Resort & Spa<\/a> in Pacific Beach Saturday. Any sign of a hangover from Friday was promptly washed away by the picturesque view of the bay and laidback live music.\u00a0 Benefiting two PB Non-Profit Organizations, Discover PB<\/a> & PB Community Foundation, this festival embodied what we love about PB, including local art, classic beach cruisers and vintage surfboards.\u00a0 Supporting local communities by drinking local beer is our definition of a win\/win situation.<\/p>\n

Later that night, The Linkery<\/a> welcomed Mad River Brewing<\/a>, the most \"\"<\/a>recent winner of the Best Small Brewery Award at the Great American Beer Festival<\/a>.\u00a0 Head Brewer Dylan Schatz made the long drive to bring us Mad River Serious Madness 3.0, which saw some great beers on tap, including a terrific Jamaica Sunset IPA, Jamaica Red Ale and the daunting Rorschach Two Double Brown Ale, amongst others. This was yet another case of a San Diego venue attracting the country\u2019s best beers.<\/p>\n

The Beer Garden at The Lodge at Torrey Pines<\/a> officially marked the end to San Diego Beer Week<\/a>.\u00a0 The 5-star hotel lived up to their name with out-of-this-world food & beer pairings.<\/p>\n

Stephen Kurpinsky, Grill Manager at The Lodge at Torrey Pines (and possible Adam Carbonell stunt-double), said this event was \u201can awesome, low-key end to the week.\u00a0 It\u2019s early enough for everyone to have a nice, relaxing Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unbeatable November weather, amazing beer, and mouth-watering culinary masterpieces proved to be the perfect recipe for the SDBW-weary masses.\u00a0 Coronado Brewing Co.\u2019s Shawn DeWitt<\/a>, who also acts as Vice President of the San Diego Brewers Guild<\/a>, reminded us of the tireless efforts of all Brewers Guild members to make San Diego Beer Week such a flawless festival.\u00a0 Home Brew Mart General Manager and former San Diego Brewers Guild President Colby Chandler, who admitted to taking more cabs this past week than in his sixteen years of living here, was happy that \u201ceverybody got onboard this year, even people outside of the beer industry.\u00a0 We\u2019ve planted more seeds for San Diego Craft Beer this year than any other, and who knows where that\u2019s going to land us?\u201d Indeed, the coastal blue sky is the limit.<\/p>\n
