The Daily Pint

Next Wednesday, November 19th, the Daily Pint will be welcoming Nick Moffatt, who has been walking across the US on foot to raise money for the Royal British and American Legions.  He started off in New York several months ago, and for the last week, the only thing keeping him going is the knowledge that a whole row of pints will be waiting for him in Santa Monica.

Come join us in welcoming Nick to Southern California as we help him raise money for charity.  A portion of all cask ale sales from the evening will be donated to the American Legion Legacy Fund.  For more info visit the California Beerzine.

See you at the Pint!

Master of Whisky Edward Adams from Diageo will be joining us at the Daily Pint on Friday, December 5th at 8:30pm to lead a Single Malt Scotch tasting.  Here’s the list of scotches we’ll be pouring, Glenkinchie 12 yr, Dalwhinnie 15 yr, Lagavulin 16 yr, Oban 14 yr, Clynelish 14 yr, Caol Illa 12 yr, Talisker 10 yr, Cragganmore 12 yr, and Singleton 12 yr.

Fresh in from San Diego, we are currently pouring Port Brewing’s High Tide IPA until the keg blows.  Here’s some info from the Port website:

Brewed only once each year to coincide with the Hop Harvest in Yakima Washington, High Tide IPA is made with 180 lbs of Fresh Hops per batch that are plucked from the vines and sent straight to our brewery. We skip the whole drying and processing stage which means the hops are ultra fresh and full of flavors we can’t normally get. Like grapes, Hops are only harvested one time each year and as such, we make what we can when we get them.

The recipe is very simple and basic with an emphasis on the variety of hops we select each year. Lately, we have selected Centennial and Chinook hops for our High Tide IPA. We used Centennial at the end of the boil and Chinook for the Dry Hopping. Now that we have brewed High Tide, we will sit and wait for the ultra High Tides of Fall to arrive knowing full well that we have sufficient stocks of great beer to get us through the flattest of sessions. We hope you’ll stock up too.
