Bay Park Blonde - It's kinda of like the "secret beer garden" of San Diego, tucked away in a small corner of Bay Park, Deft Brewing has been cranking out fantastic beers for more then a few years and they aren't just all IPAs. This week we explore a bunch of different styles coming out of Deft and we start things off with their best selling Bay Park Blonde Ale.

MacDeft Scottish Export - Mo from Deft is flexing the brewery's style prowess yet again with a beer I'm not sure we've ever had on the program before or at least not under the name Scottish Export. MacDeft is a oddly satisfying malty summertime beer, malty sweetness on the nose but a dry a flavorful finish.

DeftHopt Red - Mo from Deft Brewing threw down the gauntlet AGAIN! What at first glance I thought was going to be another malty beer, he flipped the table and threw some hops at me. DeftHopt Red is one of three different inspirations for Deft Brewing's IPA offerings and like the beers showcased before is a real treat in a glass.

Dawn of the Deft Porter - It's one of the hottest days in July (so far) and Mo from Deft Brewing brings a Porter?! It's OK, Porters happen to be one of my favorite styles of beer and at one point in history more common then you're standard IPA. We get into a little history and a little style with Deft Brewing's Dawn of the Deft Porter.

DeftCon4 Belgian Quad - At the beginning of the week Mo from Deft Brewing said they focused on three regions of beer styles: British, Germanic and Belgian. Up to this point we've yet to see a Belgian, so Mo is making up for lost time with a 10% ABV monster Belgian Quad called DeftCon 4.
