Let's rehash this in 2 weeks. Oh and another alias blocked.
My new favorite brewer is Legacy.
They have a little bar in their brewery, and its right down the hill from my house.
Their Sedition pale ale is as good as any, and their guava beer is an award winner.
They have an orange blossom IPA that I have them pour about an ounce on top of my pale ale, and its the best on a hot day after work to warsh the dust down.
Very patriotic atmosphere at the place.

I agree on both counts. Let's talk soccer! Oh and you are going to love it. If you have anything spicy with it you are going to love how it cleanses your palate.

I've been there. They also have a tasting room in Mira Mar. They brew some good stuff. There are sooooo many good choices in San Diego that it's like picking a US YNT, a lot of personal style preferences goes into the choosing. Me I'm an IPA and DIPA type of girl but a good amber/red/porter/stout will peak my interest too.

No need to rehash. CU will still have more wins than UW in two weeks. I guess there must be major chemistry issues in Seattle.
I had some beers with an old jarhead there a couple weeks ago, and insisted I buy his beer as a small token of appreciation for his service, and he finally let me.
When I got the tab, they didnt charge me for any of his beer.

Obviously you haven't been following. 2 of 3 UDub starters have gone down with ACL tears. Another starter is redshirting this year, because she will be playing on the U20 US YNT/WWC. The team graduated their 2 starting centerbacks and starting GK from last year.
It's okay...UDub has a U18 YNT Pool player, 5 ODP Region IV team players and a athletic Slammers forward coming in June. 2018 class has 3 YNT players committed. Future is bright!

Nope, UDub didn't have 7-8 players transfer out like the Buffs did this offseason.

You're obviously a score board watcher. Maybe you should read what the Buffs fans are posting after beating UDub 2-1 last week.

Gotta love the Marines. My dad was one, my brother is in the Navy so I love them and respect what they do. And like you any chance I can get to show my appreciation I try to take.

This ignore feature is weird because it seems like you are debating a ghost. Or a poster with multiple personality disorder.

I think I may have seen some of their beers in my local Whole Foods this past weekend. I remember being surprised that there was a brewer in Oceanside. I may go back and grab a couple on your recommendation.
A buddy and I hit several San Diego breweries and were disappointed in a couple big ones, namely Green Flash and Modern Times. Best beers we had down there were from Alesmith.
Totally off topic but when we were down for Surf Cup this past summer, happened to stumble across the Haunted Head. Great pirate themed dive bar!

If we are going to get off topic beer and wine are the way to go for me. I agree about Modern Times. I like North Park but their selection is limited. I think that Green Flash has some really good beers (I love West Coast IPA) but they try to do too much. Alesmith is legit.
There are actually 4 breweries in Oceanside (that I can think of without searching) and several in Vista and San Marcos.
I figured that Stone's "you probably won't like this" marketing strategy wouldn't last forever. But it's still all family money so they can do what they like without putting financiers' reps on their board.
In contrast, Sierra Nevada gets to play along with the fruit-of-the-month experiments, but even with 24-7 operation 70% of what they ship is still the original Pale Ale.
We all know what cleanses your palate. Hint. It is not alcohol.
Belching Beaver has some great beer. They're in Vista.
Oceanside has Legacy, and Oceanside Brewing Co. within walking distance.
Oceanside Ale Works off O-side blvd.
They also have a crappy beer place I forgot the name of on Hill street. (Breakwater)
A great European style brew-gastro-pub is Bagby's, also on Hill st.
Prohibition Brewery is on the O-side Vista border. I used to work with the owner. (he was an electrician)
Their beer is ok.
The Legacy beer is really good.
Ive never had it in bottle form. I dont bring beer home, so I cant tell you how it translates to the six pack.

But I am never sad if someone hands me a cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I usually like the Celebration Ale as well.
I have done the Sierra Nevada brewery tour twice (it's free (but you should make a reservation) and at the end there are samples of the beers currently being brewed*) and as a result I have sampled a few SN products that I normally would just ignore, but my standbys are Pale Ale and Torpedo (which is just Pale Ale with stronger hops infusion).
When I first broke out of the what-is-the-cheapest attitude about beer (Olympia, Coors, Miller), I stuck with Henry Weinhard, but that disappeared years ago. Then I spent a long time loving different varieties from Karl Strauss and Samuel Adams. Right now in the kitchen refrigerator I have remnants of 12-packs of Rolling Rock (my favorite cheap beer), SA, XX, and Torpedo.
*or, in short, (...free...beer...)

Colorado sucked last year and went 1-3, with 4 goals in this 4 game set. Plus 3 of the 4 were in CA. Boulder's a tough place to play. You're going to lose this bet, but you sure have some stones making the "Colorado doesn't score in any of the games" prediction!
Maybe not such a risky bet if you consider that the most common final score in college soccer games is 1-0.
