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.

AleSmith’s Hall of Fame version of the legendary Tony Gwynn .394 San Diego Pale Ale pays tribute to the one and only Mr. Padre and his commitment to excellence. Just like its predecessor, this “imperial” or “double” .394 is bursting with even more American hops, lending the beer a diverse palate of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Tony envisioned this beer in early 2014 and AleSmith is honored to make another one of his dreams. come true.

22 Kings
2015-05-16 08:00 - 17:00
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 dimension

Firestone’s flagship brew highlights barrel-fermented batches from their patented Firestone Union blended with beer fermented in stainless steel.

Venkman’s Ghost
2015-04-04
Sonoran desert rock band Venkman’s Ghost have been making an impression in their dusty border town with a unique blend of hypnotic drum beats and crunchy rocking riffs. Husband and wife team, guitarist and bassist “Danger” Dave and “Mos Stef” Stefani spent evenings creating riffs and lyrics acoustically before adding friend “Thrillhouse” Golding onto the drums for some solid jamming. What emerged was a groovy sound that has driven Venkman’s Ghost into the forefront of the local music showcase with heavily distorted grinding guitar riffs and thumping bass lines intertwining with hard edged grungy drumbeats.
