New Year’s Fun

Three weeks late, but I wanted to share what an awesome time Melissa and I had on New Year’s 2010. My favorite local brewery, Port Brewing of Pizza Port fame, teamed up with my favorite local beer bar, Toronado San Diego.

After 14 hours and a nearly cancelled flight coming back from Pennsylvania (with a delightful free upgrade to first class), I arrive in San Diego around 6pm. We hit Toronado around 830 to find it not too crowded. I think we were both expecting it to be slammed. Instead we sat right down at the bar and ordered the IPA flight, which consisted of 11 IPA’s at 4oz each. Being good students, we took notes on each…

Oh but the night was just getting started! We then decided to switch gears and did the stout and porter flight. Another delicious 11 brews with notes…

We both agreed the best beer of the night was the California Honey Ale, of which we both got a pint or two. Pizza Port also brought down some sort of a mobile pizza oven to cook really cheap pizza in the alley out back. Sweet. All in all a great time. Made me love Port and Toronado even more, and I hope they do something like this again!
