You asked for it and you got it! Last year’s experimental IPA, Raisin Apollo, is being released in bottles! This is an extremely limited release that should make it to some stores within a couple weeks. Raisin Apollo – a double IPA fermented with golden raisins. A creation of Short’s Brewer Curt Guntzviller, his likeness — modestly covered by a hop leaf — graces the label.

The main part of batch 1000 of Huma Lupa Licious, a/k/a “AwwJeah” is going to be one of the most awesome Short’s Brews ever. It’s mutant cousin, “Mmkay” (also part of batch 1000), is also turning out amazingly. Lots of fun stuff to look forward to! We’re anticipating that we’ll release these sometime this spring. Cheers to your 1000th batch, Huma!

Another brand new beer is going on tap at our Pub. Juicy Tree~ An experimental IPA made with blue spruce tips, juniper berries, and cranberries. Piney evergreen and sweet berries tingle the senses. After some slightly tart and tangy flavors up front, a harmonious balance between pleasant fruit sweetness and bitter pine is reached. A sizable malt bill, ample hop additions, and the floral fruity qualities of American Ale yeast all contribute to symmetry of this beer. The finish is laced with a resiny stickiness that flows naturally into a lasting bitterness. 7.5% ABV

Now on tap: Wintertime Fun Ale – an English Strong Ale brewed with milk chocolate, marshmallow, cinnamon, and peppermint. Flavors of whipped creamy chocolate and marshmallow are prevalent, but it’s the lingering spiciness from the peppermint that steals the show. 8.5% ABV

In July, Wilcox opened The Local Pub and Brewery at the former location of Zigs Kettle & Brew, which closed in 2003.
"I’d like to thank my customers and employees," Wilcox said. "It was a good run. I wish we could have been supported more financially."
Seven months is a good run? Blaming the community for not supporting you enough? Hmm…

For some context, Beernews.org reported upcoming Craft Brewers Conference destinations in March of last year:
Brewers Association Director, Paul Gatza, revealed the following on Beer Sessions Radio…
“After San Francisco this year, we’re already booked for San Diego next year, then D.C. in 2013, then Denver in 2014, and then I think we’re going to start looking at the Pacific Northwest in 2015.”
Gatza lamented that they hadn’t held the conference in Portland, Oregon, since 2001 so that could be a prime target for 2015. He also said that New York City is unlikely because room rates are too high for attendees.
Well, they may sing a different tune around NYC in 2013…sorta. DC Beer reports via the Brewers’ Association’s Julia Herz:
In 2012, the Brewers Association (BA) is looking forward to the fifth consecutive year of holding SAVOR in Washington, D.C. Part of our mission as a national, not-for-profit trade association is to promote small and independent craft brewers and their craft brewed beers to audiences around the country. As such, the BA Board of Directors has directed staff to investigate the possibility of New York City as a potential location for 2013. These investigations are very preliminary, and nothing has been finalized regarding the location of SAVOR in 2013.
The Brewers Association describes SAVOR as, “A must-attend for craft beer aficionados and foodies alike, SAVOR offers a memorable craft beer and food experience to a limited number of attendees in Washington, D.C.’s beautiful National Building Museum.”
The 2012 event takes place in D.C. in June.
Considering that the Super Bowl is just two days away and that the next two-and-a-half weeks will be filled with Carnival celebrations, I'll go out on a limb here and say that some of you are having a few more adult beverages than usual this month.

Ever wonder why a band like Bon Iver would put out a debut album and then follow up with a self-titled work? Sure thing Wilco, reel off 6 studio albums and then come out with Wilco .
February is upon us, bringing our annual My Bloody Valentine release. It’s deep red color, caramel malt richness and abundant hops are the signatures of this unique ale.
We brew a single batch of this tasty brew at the beginning of each new year so we’ll have it ready in time for Valentine’s Day. Samples and growler fills are available at the brewery during our retail hours. Look for My Bloody Valentine on draft and from the cask around town at San Diego premier beer bars and restaurants in the month of February!

The wait is over! AleSmith Decadence 2011 has been brewed, bottled and will be released at the brewery on Wednesday, February 29th, 2012.
AleSmith Decadence Anniversary Ale was originally brewed in 2005 to celebrate our first decade in business. Our brewers had such a great time concocting AleSmith Decadence that they decided to make it an annual event and brew a new style each year to commemorate our Anniversary.
AleSmith Decadence 2011 was brewed to combine two styles, smoked beer and barleywine to create our unique homebrew-inspired Maple Smoked Barleywine. Containing a pleasant Bamburg smoked-malt character that richly compliments the pure Vermont Maple Syrup, AleSmith Decadence 2011 is sure to deliver a memorable drinking experience!
The bottles will go on sale at 2pm on Wednesday, February 29th in the tasting room ($13.00 per bottle, six bottle limit) and will be available at better bottle shops and select retail accounts in the following weeks. There is a very limited amount of draft of this beer and we will only be offering tasters of the beer in the tasting room (no growler fills).
