Vinedos Herrera Alvarado

Alvarado Street Brewery

Yeast Of Eden Skeptics & Believers 2017

Side project of the brewery that only does sour ales and I think most are barrel aged. This is pretty good, nectarine, white cherry, lemon candy, moderately crisp and a little fluffy and not sharp like a gose or heavy sour — 8 years ago

Los Carneros Chardonnay 2014

Really enjoyed this chardonnay - totally Carneros. However, what I enjoyed even more is the story of the winemaker, Rolando Herrera and how this wine came to be! — 8 years ago

Mai Tai P.A. Tropical India Pale Ale

It is a 10🙌🏼 I may find a beer this good again in my life but it's incredible and happens to be local. it's been my favorite for awhile, some better some worse that's alcohol for you. Part of it is A) amazing beer B) distributed nearby so fresh off the line. It's 100% Mosaic, which gives off subtle pine on the nose and palette and hefty notes of tangerine and pineapple on the nose. The aroma is strong, the flavor is smooth with a tingle. They don't add as much additional hops at the end (which is what gives the extra big bitterness in IPAs like SN Torpedo, some Stone, etc.). It's clean and fun. It's a bummer that after you try something dozens of times it's not as amazing in the moment as you remember.. but if you get the right batch.. It's game-changing. Note the GABF gold for a brewing company 2 years old at the time. Must visit brewery on the central coast. — 8 years ago

Rolando Herrera is brilliant! For being mostly a Chard, Cab and Pinot producer; he really nailed it out of the park. Goes fantastic with oysters and good friends!!! — 11 years ago

The Boysen Back In Town Kettle Sour Ale

Not a sour. And sorry for the long story I'm about to tell but about to advertise for you guys a great future craft brew brand. It's one of the best stouts I've had. Had it at least 30 times and it's always on spot perfect. Look up this brewery, they've been around 3 years and their record with GABF is on point with what I taste and that makes me happy it's local. I've been going here for 3 years since college and now that they have cans distributed across the east and west coast... I've gotta say this is the dream if your local products.

It really is what I scored it, and it's only their second best beer. Even other brewhouses like deschutes, ballast point won't get this much respect from me and I lived in San Diego for a time bowing to the original sculpin recipe before they sold out. The expression of cacao nibs on this are AMAZING. Clear as day, in your face. Stands out heavily with a creamy burly texture. The finish is smooth and clean at 5.5% alcohol for a young nitro release. They distribute to west and east coast now.. they're the next ballast point/Sierra Nevada you name it. Every night there's at least 150 covers at this bar year round, I'll leave it at that. Mai Tai PA is the next legendary beer though.

@Bill Bender $4/can and the guy who started this place had a tiny brew spot in PB.. I never went there but seems like that was a test run to make this brand

@Chris Parrino when you say PB where are you referring to? We have a local area here called Pacific Beach

I think you've posted a lot of stuff from SD and I lived there for a bit for part of college. But he had a place called amplified ale works I think it was in Pacific Beach. I read the restaurant about us page not long ago, place is a huge deal out here.
