Last Call - Barley & Sword - Oro De Graf Mexican Style Lager
5d ago00:02:30Tap to summarizeNot very often do we end our week with a Mexican style lager, but in the case of Barley & Sword it's very fitting! Launching into our weekend with a beer inspired by The Father of Mexican Lager Santiago Graf. Hilighting it's Vienna lager roots this beer really hits home when you get that hint of corn and a subtle salinity? Mike explains why!
Transcribe →Last Call - Barley & Sword - Ye Old Man & Scythe
6d ago00:02:25Tap to summarizeNamed after an old English tavern, Ye Olde Man & Scythe is ever bit of what you would expect from an English Porter that you'd get pumped up from the cellar of your local pub. 4.6% ABV and still balanced and approachable. This is a perfect shifty or if you just want to chew the fat at the bar.
Transcribe →Last Call - Barley & Sword - Beoir Bearg Irish Red
1w ago00:02:13Tap to summarizeIt is an insanely hard task to make an Irish Red as clean and easy drinking as Barley & Sword's Beoir Bearg. The only thing harder might be trying to pronounce the beer's name without the pronunciation guide printed on the can. Mike and I discuss what makes this beer a labor of love that pays off in drinkablity and flavor.
Transcribe →Last Call - Barley & Sword - Bier Von Bayern
1w ago00:02:02Tap to summarizeMike from Barley & Sword brings today what I think maybe the most acurate West Coast brewing of a traditional Weissbier and he has the medals to back it up. Bier Von Bayern is a traditional unfiltered Bavarian Hefewetzen that doesn't smash you in the face with one flavor but delievers on hints of banana, apricot and clove in a easy drinking, well balanced wheat beer.
Transcribe →Last Call - Barley & Sword - Sawmill Steam
1w ago00:03:35Tap to summarizeThis is going to be an educational week for anyone who is interested in beer history and traditional beer styles. Mike from Barley & Sword has made a study and profession out of brewing old world style of beers and unsurprisingly it's found it's audience in San Diego. We start with a beer that would have ruled the West during the time of the Gold Rush, the California Common or has he calls it Sawmill Steam.

2w ago00:02:09Tap to summarizeThe McIlhenney 5th Anniversary is offically underway! To kick off the party Shawn and Jamie have brough the party, in a can! Their staple double IPA Wild Child is a easy drinking hoppy IPA that goes down a little too smooth to be such a high ABV.
Transcribe →Last Call - McIlhenney Brewing - Nectaron Express WCIPA
2w ago00:02:02Tap to summarizeIts smelling pretty dank in here! Shawn and Jamie McIlhenney have brought their latest Nectaron Express West Coast IPA. A West Coast style IPA that blends both flavorful Nectaron hop with Pineapple Express terpines from Abstracts. That's right, the same strain you'd find at your favorite despensary has had the THC stripped out of it leaving only the flavor that's infused into the beer. Not surprisingly for a McIlhenney beer it's not like hot boxing your best friends Civic but a well balanced drinking experience.
Transcribe →Last Call - McIlhenney Brewing - Muntz New Zealand Rye
2w ago00:01:51Tap to summarizeIt's been a desert island beer for me since they first started making it 5 years a go! McIlhenney's Muntz New Zealand Rye is a hazy looking beer that it all craft and no hype. It's murky appearance is 100% derived from the insane amount of Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin hops infused in this easy drinking Rye IPA. It also pairs really well with bread and butter pickles and BBQ sauce if you find yourself in Flinn Springs.

2w ago00:01:35Tap to summarizeThe Pinberries taste like Pineberries! A recent addition to the McIlhenney line-up and a new favorite in the tasting room. Pineberry West Coast IPA is an intensly pine-forward beer that almost does a 180 on your palate with a berry-like finish. It's truly a beer that will wear your elbow out as you'll want to experience that flip over and over again.
