Well it seems "What’s New -Part 4" is a fairly old and long thread so here’s a new one.

I stopped by Bitter Brothers Brewing on Friday. It is a small-ish place and they have a couple fairly solid beers. At least one of the brewers came from White Labs.

I gave Second Chance a second chance, still just ok. Pure Project isn’t bad, neat story about coming here from Costa Rica. Next door is the new location for Amplified Ales. Sounds like they’re brewing already but don’t have the tasting room open yet.

Fun fact: the brewer from Pure Project is the brewer from Boulder Creek in northern CA that burned down last year.

Well next time you are in SD let me know. I was at Second Chance Friday afternoon/evening.

Which brew pub are you at? Poost fail, meant to reply to your "overheard" thread. At Bitter Brothers now, not bad, and next door to JD Machine. Might have to go buy an AR15 before I leave.

Refilled on fatty German food at Tip Top and now at Urge / Mason in Oceanside. It’s ok. Almost forgot, la jolla is a cool spot but the beer is sweet, classic American style junk.

I don’t think it’s necessarily "new," but Resident Brewing is up and running in Downtown SD: http://residentbrewing.com

The have a separate bar (kind of) with 8 taps at The Local: http://thelocalsandiego.com/draft-list/

I’ll be up in Beverly Hills next week for work... places section on here looks pretty sparse... anyone got any inside info? Or is my best bet just getting few bottles at the Whole Foods and drinking alone in my hotel room?

Isn’t Vendome in BH? I Went to Southland Beer in Koreatown 2 weeks ago and found it to be solid. It’s a good 5 miles from BH though.

Yeah I’ve already mentioned Resident in the other thread.

For having a brewer with a solid background, Mason is rather average/mediocre right now.

Amplified is indeed brewing out of the location next to Pure Project. Not sure when they will open but their beers are on draft at the Kali Kabob place in PB.

Is there anything missing from the SD brewery listing? After yesterdays excursion I think I’m down to 4 breweries left to visit and I’ll be heading back in two weeks for Veritas and the Mikkeller opening. Thinking that for the first (and probably only) time in my life I’ll be able to say that I’ve been to all the open SD breweries.

As far as I know it’s just
