And September/October are both after the peak travel season and the high points of fire season so it could be quite the inexpensive adventure.

Breweries with tours and free beer tastings include:

Stone Brewery - also has a restaurant.

Karl Strauss - has several restaurants in San Diego County which have cask tapping parties on occasion.

Gordon Biersch - hey look another one with a restaurant.

Ballast Point

Coronado Brewing Company - restaurant!

Green Flash Brewing

Oggi's Pizza & Beer - all in restaurant form.

Port Brewing - warning: may contain restaurants.

We also have a couple of chains, BJ's Brewhouse and Rock Bottom but each of them makes their own beer on the restaurant premises.

So, anyone thirsty?

And if that is not enough beer we can always go to the Yard House .

Crap. Now I've got a late evening Whataburger craving. And I'm home in Atlanta and the closest Whataburger is probably in Baton Rouge. :mad: For some reason Whataburger tastes best to me after 11:00 PM.

The closest Whataburger to ATL is is Thomasville, GA. I know this because I looked it up last time I was in ATL and wanted Whataburger. I knew they were in Florida but they haven't yet penetrated Georgia much for some reason. That reason made me sad.

And Whataburger is best after 11PM because that's when they begin serving the Breakfast on a Bun!

An excellent suggestion! One of the two places in San Diego that actually has Shiner Bock on tap. :D

SAN and Beer - We could do it right around the Oct 24 Skyteam exit , catch the DL 763 to SAN and return on UA P.S. from LAX and hopefully earn CO miles .

You know you're right. Actually I've done no work tonight. I'm only bored because I'm home alone with the cats. My partner flew out after dinner tonight for the Chicago Auto Show. I'll be joining him there Wednesday evening. But until then, I'm home alone, with not much going on. Apparently one of the cats is bored too. He's been alternating between my lap and entertaining himself by rearranging stuff in the downstairs bedroom closet :rolleyes:.

No way. There's a Whataburger in Georgia? I had no idea there were any east of the Mississippi.

There is indeed. Though it might be closer to get to BHM rather then all the way down there. Have to map it out.

So I'll put a big maybe on the SAN microbrewery event, and we'll see how it goes. Night Box.

Did anyone even talk to him? Invite him to party?

Yes it was. He clearly had no recollection of Gil, and consequently no clue of how we knew of him or knew his name.

Too funny! Glad I could help entertain everyone.

When I was moving to Houston, I saw a billboard for Whataburger in the Birmingham, Alabama area.
