March 26, 2010 This weekend in beer
An epic beer weekend in San Diego County:
Friday: High Dive Bar & Grill pours Nelson, Alpine Beer Company’s golden rye IPA with those herbalicious Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. High Dive’s at 1801 Morena Blvd.
Saturday: More than 100 Belgian and Belgian-inspired beers will be featured at Pizza Port Carlsbad’s Belgian beer bash. Tickets for each of the two tasting sessions — 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and 5 to 11 p.m. — are $40 online at pizzaport.com or ticketderby.com. Pizza Port: 571 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad.
Saturday and Sunday: The folks from Hamilton’s have organized the beer garden at the annual San Diego Crew Classic. From Crown Point Shores, watch some of the nation’s best scullers while sipping great ales and lagers. $7 admission.
All weekend: Hamilton and its sister tavern, the Small Bar, feature the brews of Napa Smith, the hot new brewery from NoCal’s wine-centric valley. Brewer Don Barkley, who in a previous incarnation created Mendocino’s excellent Eye of the Hawk, will talk about his beers Friday night at both locales. Hamilton’s: 1521 30th St. Small Bar: 4628 Park Blvd.
