Message Bacterial beers 3140 º places 134 º 14:56 Sat 1/17/2015 Enjoying my time back in SoCal. Curious to know what you guys routinely pick up. I love grabbing a bomber of Union Jack for $4 at Trader Joe’s. What other regulars or shelfie seasonals do you guys like?
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 15:26 Sat 1/17/2015 Whatever is the freshest: Lagunitas IPA / Sucks, Pizza Port Swamis / Ponto, Union Jack, or Celebration. If Enjoy By, Summer Yulesmith, or Humulus Lager were available in six packs of go for those. For non-hoppy: Vitus or Cuvee Rene.

Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 22:48 Sat 1/17/2015 Fresh from brewery Pizza Port Ponto $10 x6 16oz cans

Message thome50 beers 1295 º places 34 º 00:03 Sun 1/18/2015 Pretty much what everyone else has said. Ponto and Swamis if fresh from the brewery. Modern Times Fortunate Islands is great but a little over priced at $12/4 pack of 16oz cans. I heard that they finally started putting dates on the bottom of the cans which will help out up here in SLO. The last few cans of that I’ve had were very old but there was no date to know. Scrolling past until those show up here or I just buy it in OC. Firestone Walker Pale 31 I still like a lot when the local grocery store has it on sale for $6.99/six pack. Union Jack is sometimes on sale there for $7.99 which is nice but that is rare. Enjoy By for bombers and a DIPA fix if needed. Double Jack is also great but more expensive and mostly 3+ months old on the shelf even 20 minutes from the brewery.
Message rcubed beers 35 º 01:55 Sun 1/18/2015 A lot of what has been mentioned plus Cali Creamin from Mother Earth.
Message vacax 12:36 Sun 1/18/2015 Besides the lovely Pizza Port cans mentioned, I like some light hoppinesss. Avery Joe’s, Firestone Pivo, Sam Adams Noble Pils, Ska Mexican Logger, Epic Hop Syndrome.
Message Bacterial beers 3140 º places 134 º 15:44 Sun 1/18/2015 Grabbed 6-packs of Anderson Valley Gose, BP Sculpin and PP Swami’s - all excellent. Swami’s is 4 weeks old, but still quite tasty. Hoping to have it fresh from the brewery sometime in the next few months!

Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 16:37 Sun 1/18/2015 I finally figured out how to read the bottled on date for Ballast Point. Where do I look for Pivo Pils six packs? I want to buy them, but not if stale.

I want to buy them, but not if stale. Even here on the Central Coast I can’t seem to find fresh Pivo Pils outside of the brewery store. And there it is hard to pay the $12-14(can’t remember exactly) price.
Message wutangfinancial beers 212 º places 33 º 19:21 Sun 1/18/2015 Lagunitas Daytime all the time.
