Memorial Weekend is upon us and that means it's time for a McIlhenney Brewing Anniversary! Year 5 bring all the festivities you'd expect from our East County friends like a easy drinking triple IPA, but before that gets underway on Friday we've got a few other beers to enjoy like Jamie's external favorite, Brite Light Helles. She and Shawn explains what makes this beer so special.

We wrap up the week with Culture Brewing and a truly one of a kind collab with Coastal Roots Farm in Encinitas. A Spring seasonal beer that features handpicked elderflower from Coastal Roots creating a fruity and floral IPA. Best part, a portion of the proceeds from each beer goes to support Coast Roots efforts.

Taking a break from the hops for a truly South of the border inspired beverage. Jason and Larry from Culture Brewing show off their Hispanic flare with La Cerveza Mexican stytle lager.

A hazy Wednesday needs a hazy beer and Jason and Larry from Culture Brewing brough Coastal Haze! A hazy not like some of the other tropical bombs out there, there is something distinctly more dank about this beer and it just might be because of current head brewer Jasons' past.

You might have heard the phrase "a little bit country and a little bit rock & roll." Today's beer follows that being a little bit old school and a little bit new school. Culture Brewing's Mosaic IPA has all that upfront flora aroma you'd expect with a beer with Mosaic hops but also hides a subtle bitterness that dries the beer up on the backend like an OG West Coast IPA.

There has been a lot brewing at Culture and it's more then just the beer! It's been forever since we've had anyone from the brewrey swing by and we're fixing that this week as Jason and Larry drop by all week to talk about what's happening in their tasting rooms and their brew house. We start light and crisp with their interperation of a Blonde ale called Solana Blonde.

Closing the week with Chris and Ryan from SouthNorte with a drink that has become more and more popular as more premium tequilas hit the market. With tequila, lime and grapefruit soda the Paloma is a refreshing and less sweet alternative to a margarita. IMO it's a perfect way to kick off a weekend with your friends.

Chris and Ryan from SouthNorte might have brought my new favorite go-to spirit and soda beverage. After the introduction of the Hibiscus Lime yestrday, today's Tequila Soda with Orange has no right being this good! Subtle tequila flavor with a hint of orange essence that it's more akin to expressing orange peel over an old Fashioned then drinking tequila and orange juice and that's just the way I like it!

With a warm weekend on the horizon Chris and Ryan from SouthNorte brought the ultimate refreshing cocktail a Hibiscus Lime Tequila soda. If a vodka soda is your go to this is a beverage you need to try, like a carbonated glass of agua de Jamaica with a suble hint of tequila...this might just become you new summertime cocktail.

It's Cinco De Mayo! Time to celebrate with a drink that draws its origins back to Ensenada Mexico! Ryan from SouthNorte who once lived there bring all the inspirations of a freshsly made South of the border margarita to a can near you!
