Is Jacks Bar the one in Fremont?

 

[superhypered]

Jack's bar is North San Jose. I was at the bacon and beer festival all day, hopefully others made it out tonight, it was a lot of fun! I'll post back on Monday with what's going on for the rest of the week. Looks like Harry's Hofbrau Thursday and Friday, but I need to get more information

 

[Jdizzy92]

Harry's in San Leandro this Thursday is going to have Fieldworks tap take over. Can't wait for that. Fieldworks really knows how to mix fruit with beer.

A couple of good events this week!

Thursday night is Harry's Hofbrau on Saratoga Ave for a Stone tap takeover at 6pm

You know it, you loved it, Xocoveza is back! We will also be tapping some fun stuff such as their new DIPA with Peaches Sorry, not Sorry, 24K ale, Vertical epic 08.08.08, w00t 3.0, 2015 Double bastard and much more!

Next up on Friday is Harry's Hofbrau again with awesome stuff from Drake's brewing! The event page says it starts at 3pm, but I'm double checking with my source if it matters to anyone

The only firkin in San Jose of Jolly Roger coffee imperial porter with cocoa nibs added! We will also be tapping the regular Jolly Roger, Pungent Pumpkin, and realeasing a small amount of Bourbon Barrel Aged 2014 Jolly Roger.

Right after you get some brews at Harry's, make your way over to Whole Foods tap room on Blossom Hill Rd for a Ballast Point tap takeover! Event should start at either 6pm or 7pm

and San Diego's Ballast Point Tap Takeover on Fri., Nov. 20 from 6pm-10pm to include a cask of Grunion Pale Ale with pineapple and passion fruit.

Talked to my rep about this, everything is staying the same, constellation will not interfere with the brewing, and in a couple years Ballast Point might be overseas

So my second annual ganja ale is really frigging good. And yes, it works.

Corona, owned by Inbev. Wonder if the wee, tiny Ballast Point Homebrewmart will survive the transition, or if I'll just have to start ordering everything from NorthernBrewer?

All these breweries are getting bought out like tech companies now...

I blame the IPA craze. I mean, why not?

I just picked up a bottle of the Bourbon County stout at my local Lunardi's. Holy crap this stuff is heavy duty! Quite good. Hopefully I can make it to work tomorrow
