Big Toe Band 9pm. Part of our 2015 Oktoberfest Celebration!
The Big Toe Buzz Is Growing louder everyday, thanks to an international following. When an unlikely Youtube Video went “Viral,” Television networks in the U.S.A. and abroad began literally lining up to feature Big Toe. At one point, two rival Korean networks, (SBS and MBC) arrived simultaneously to film a Big Toe show, resulting in a near conflict. “that was fun!” Formed by frontman Mark Goffeney, and Guitarist St. James, The band’s name is derived from a favorite line in a movie, apart from the fact that the Bass/guitar player front man was indeed Born Without Arms and plays with his Feet! Although a band featuring an “armless guitar player who can “shred” with his feet has surely brought much publicity, Big Toe is committed to the idea that good song writing and exciting live shows are most important.

22 Kings
2015-09-19
22 Kings 9pm. No Cover!!
22 Kings was formed through an evolution of Sam Bybee and Sandi King singing harmonies together on Sam’s last album, “I Hate Pretty Girls”. It didn’t take long for the two to realize how special their sound could be. 22 Kings walks a fine line between Folk, Americana, and Indie Rock. Their organic character communicates raw emotion balanced with angelic harmonies and uncanny, sometimes mysterious, resonance that will win over even the toughest critics. One cannot help but become overwhelmed with melody when observing a live performance of 22 Kings. As they continue to work with other artists and producers, 22 Kings’ sound and repertoire are reaching new depths and dimensions.

Karl Strauss Mosaic
2015-09-09
Karl Strauss Double Dry Hopped Mosaic Session IPA .
Back when the Mosaic hop first came on the scene, our brewers couldn’t wait to get their hands on some. Now, with three medals (and counting!) for this session beer, our crew is still just as smitten. Mosaic Session Ale is bursting with vibrant grapefruit aroma and flavors of citrus and tropical fruit. Our signature dry-hopping technique delivers an incredibly drinkable, lower ABV beer; without sacrificing hop appeal. From a small test batch to the beer you now hold in your hands, this isn’t a one-and-done beer. Sit back, have a few, and enjoy your session.

Coronado Idiot IPA
2015-06-24
It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.
