Dream Vacation in the Dells Cream Ale -The legendary Home Brew Mart in Linda Vista is bringing the Home back to Home Brewing! Jim joins me all week to talk about what they are brewing now that they have separated from Ballast Point. We start by going back to Jim's Wisconsin roots with a homage to Spotted Cow, a beer they call, Dream Vacation in the Dells.

Tuesday
Awareness Management Session IPA - A good night out always starts with an Awareness Management plan and and Awareness Management Session IPA. Jim and the crew from Home Brew Mart have created a fantastic session IPA that cuts back on the ABV but none of the flavor and allows you to plan your evening accordingly.

Wednesday
Phishy Phishy Phish Pale Ale - Calling all jam band and Monty Python fans alike! As we up our game with Jim from Home Brew Mart, we move up from session IPA to American Pale Ale that almost borders on IPA. It's a hoppy, yet light bodies take on a Pale Ale called Phishy Phishy Phish.

Thursday
Oh My Stars IPA - There is a lot of brewing experience in the four walls of the Home Brew Mart, George tips the balance when it comes to that experience. If you know local beer lore then you know George had a hand in making the legendary recipe for Ballast Point Sculpin IPA. He also penned another fantastic IPA during his time with BP but since it was in tribute to a lost family member they let Home Brew Mart keep the recipe. Now, Oh My Stars IPA is one of their flagship beers on tap.

Friday
Garage Days IIPA - It's only fitting we wrap up our week with Jim from Home Brew Mart with a collaboration "San Diego Common" aka the Double IPA. This beer made a long side the crew at Julian Beer Co (who have quite the brewing provenance of their own) as a tribute to how home brewing starts for just about all of us with Garage Days Double IPA
