It's Fresh Hop/Wet Hop Season! As local breweries are getting same day deliveries of harvest hops it's a wonderful time to be a hop-head! Offering more depth and complexity then just floral bitterness, these beers offer a more raw taste then pelletized hops. Slamarak Cold IPA is one of the first of the season to drop and it's named after a North County wave contest where they try and jam as many people as they can on one wave.

Personally its one of the most iconic Pizza Port Brewing beers, it was a malty introduction to the flavorful world of San Diego Beers. Now, you don't have have to pop into one of the pubs to grab a pint as it's now in cans, Bacon and Eggs Imperial Stout! Honestly with the tweaking the team has been doing, this could be the best year EVER to try this beer.

Playing with hops is what Pizza Port does, so when they get the freedom to play with hops they go all out with their seasonal beers. Vibrant Views is one of their latest seasonals brewed by a notorious San Diego brewer (who will remain unnamed here) that as crafted an absolute masterpiece IPA perfect for an SD Fall.

It's was the second beer that Pizza Port brewed back in 1992, Swami's IPA now isn't the same as it was then but it's still carries the same spirit. Lean about it's inspiration and how its changed from Director of Brewery Operations Sean.

It's been a long time since the brewers from Pizza Port dropped in for a beer! This week we dig into what the San Diego brewing institution that is Pizza Port Brewing has been up to starting with a collaboration beer with our friends from Alpine, McIlhenny Brewing and a crushable, tropical and flora New Zealand Pilsner called Sunrise Valley.

Andrew from Mother Earth always likes to end the week with a BIG BIG treat! Today we dick back to a big Bourbon Barrel aged stout from 2019. A beer that has aged amazingly well, as the heat dropped off the and the chocolate notes have come sailing though! That's the fun part about big cellared beers, you just never know what it's going to taste like until you open it up!

A spook-tacular twist on an already amazing beer! Cali Creamin' has been a staple beer for Mother Earth since the start and over the years there have been different variations. This year we got a "pumpkin spice" version with a metric-ton of pumpkin flavor with hints of clove but still incredibly drinkable since it's base is the popular vanilla cream ale.

It's been a while since Mother Earth added a new core IPA to the line-up and today's beer is a work in progress to what will be a new beer from them in 2025. A taste of what is to come for today's beer.
