Message Naven beers 1000 º places 109 º 01:28 Thu 12/25/2014 Went to Bolt Brewing in La Mesa last week. Awesome outside beer garden with a super friendly staff. Naturally, the beers were horrid. Someone enter it in the database. I’m too lazy.

They don’t seem to have any info online about their beer. http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/bolt-brewery/21701/
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 11:05 Mon 12/29/2014 Wavelength Brewing Company just opened in Vista the other day. If anyone has more info on them please add it. They don’t have a real website, a proper beer list, or even a phone number, but they did post the tap lineup for opening day (Saturday) on facebook. http://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/wavelength-brewing-company/21736/

Message BlackHaddock P beers 15456 º places 1055 º 05:29 Tue 12/30/2014 Good to see the brewing revolution is still happening in Southern California. I am curious to know if there are many closures, as it appears a new brewery is opening almost weekly in the area. Can the beer drinking population sustain so many new ’craft’ (or otherwise) brewing places? My daughter and her husband have moved from the coast at Newport Beach and now live up in Laguna Niguel: same rent, bigger house and a garden I believe. Next visit planned for May. Looking at maps and the database of places on here Laguna Niguel seems to be a huge housing development without any bars! A few shopping malls and restaurants dotted in between the various property estates is all I can find. I will keep checking on this forum to see if anything appears close to my new visiting address: thank you (the regular contributors) for being so active and helpful to the people with a beer appreciation. <*))))))><

Can the beer drinking population sustain so many new ’craft’ (or otherwise) brewing places? Short answer is yes. Longer answer: When you consider how much beer most of these breweries are actually making, there is plenty of room for more breweries. I’ve been saying it for at least 5 years but we’re almost there now: pretty soon we’re going to be like Germany was years ago where there was a brewpub in every little town and there is no real brand identification (bars just carry one brewery). You just walk down to your nearest brewpub and ask for a hefe, or a pils (or more likely an IPA or an imperial stout). The competition is really for shelf space. We still have a little ways to go before that happens but it’s not too far off. And so far most of them have not closed, but we’ll get there too.

Message brokensail P admin beers 21480 º places 1691 º 17:38 Thu 1/1/2015 According to Facebook, Cal Poly’s brewery will have their first house beers on tap on Monday. Guess I’ll have to go visit the ol’ Alma Mater here in the next few weeks.

I’d call ahead or post on facebook to see if they have them on, before making the journey to make some students feel bad for making crappy beer

At worst I can always just go to Upland and Claremont for some high quality libations...
