Slamarack Wet Hop Cold IPA - It's Fresh Hop/Wet Hop Season! As local breweries are getting same day deliveries of harvest hops it's a wonderful time to be a hop-head! Offering more depth and complexity then just floral bitterness, these beers offer a more raw taste then pelletized hops. Slamarak Cold IPA is one of the first of the season to drop and it's named after a North County wave contest where they try and jam as many people as they can on one wave.

Bacon & Eggs Imperial Coffee Porter - Personally its one of the most iconic Pizza Port Brewing beers, it was a malty introduction to the flavorful world of San Diego Beers. Now, you don't have have to pop into one of the pubs to grab a pint as it's now in cans, Bacon and Eggs Imperial Stout! Honestly with the tweaking the team has been doing, this could be the best year EVER to try this beer.
