What’s New - Part 5

I’ve seen it in a few liquor stores, but for like $35 or something. Hoping that they will continue to make it and that the price will come down.

Thunderhawk is open: http://www.westcoastersd.com/2016/09/19/thunderhawk-alements-now-open-in-miramar/

Also Knotty Brewing in Downtown San Diego (out of Knotty Barrel).

I have a photo from Knotty. I happened to visit Knotty Barrel on the day of the brewery grand opening. Will add the beers later today.

Damn, I think even City Beer had it for less than that.

Dragons Tale Brewing is starting their soft opening in Montclair this weekend.

That area now has a bit of a (brew)pub crawl with Rok House, Dale Bros, Claremont Craft Ales, and now Dragons Tale.

Don’t know if this has been covered, but Butcher’s Brewing has been rebranded as Finest Made Ales

From what I can tell, there does appear to be some possible minor overlap in beers, i.e.
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/butchers-santee-summer-blonde/361422/
is probably the same as the blonde ale at the new brewery. A few others are pretty unclear.

Any protocol for this situation? I have a new beer that’s definitely not been previously added under the Butcher’s brand. Should I add it under a new brewer? Include it under Butchers? Something else?

I’ll defer to Mike or GT on this, but I feel like the last few times it came up the solution was to just rename the brewery and start naming the new beers with the new brewery name, and keep the beers that are the same recipe. Personally it seems like more work than it’s worth, I’d rather just add a new brewery, retire the old stuff, and make a note of it.

Did they move? Do I get a new place tick out of this?

As far as I can tell they didn’t move. And there’s really no clear indication as to whether any of the beers are the same recipe or not.
