ISM
2ND ANNIVERSARY FEATURE
Starting at 6pm
ISM Brewing is turning 2 and this Saturday we’re going to tap six of their beers, including their 2nd anniversary 2SM DIPA, to celebrate them. If you don’t know much, or anything, about ISM, they are an award winning brewery that doesn’t just create ourstanding beers, but they also create outstanding community — a combo worth celebrating for sure.
THE DRAFT LIST…
2SM
West Coast Double IPA
Nelson Cryo, Simcoe Cryo, Nectaron, Mosaic & Mosaic Dynaboost
”We whipped up another most excellent West Coast Double IPA for our second Anniversary! Another epic hop cocktail in this lean and mean double combines for notes of Purple Otter Pops, Gewurztraminer and Grapefruit Peel garnish.”
No Hills Pils
WC Pils
Citra, Mosaic & Nelson
”To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our local cycling club, Moonlight Mash, we brewed No Hills Pils! This beer is an extremely bicycle-friendly West Coast Pilsner with plenty of hop saturation despite a crisp and effortless body. Notes of calamansi, ripe marionberry and a touch of Parellada combine in this hill-less crusher!”
Anomalism: Citra
Single Hop West Coast IPA
Citra
”Anomalism is a lean and mean west coast IPA designed as a blank canvas for a single select hop varietal to steal the show. Fermented extra dry & crisp, with low malt presence & a tight bitterness. This beer is the perfect medium for a singular select hop varietal to shine!”
Lunar Gaze
New Zealand IPA
Collaboration with Eggers Hops (NZ)
Eggers Full Moon Harvest Hops
”Kem Eggers, distinguished horticulturalist and Co-Owner of Eggers Hops in Moutere Valley, New Zealand, offered us the opportunity to brew a beer with their Full Moon Harvest hops this year. What makes these hops so unique is that they are picked at midnight during the full moon, lunar eclipse and blood moon at one of their farms in Moutere, NZ. While the research is fairly limited at this point, this method of harvesting is believed to both increase the hop plant’s water and sugar content, while also reducing plant stress and increasing both sensory intensity and shelf life. Whether or not that’s the case, these hops smell fantastic - reminiscent of a really good punchy lot of Mosaic, with a little bit of NZ twang. This beer kicks out aromatics of blackberry kush, tzimbalo pear melon and accents of fruity Vinho Verde.”
Kiwi Fingers
WCIPA
Citra & Nelson
”Grapefruit zest clashes with Chenin Blanc in this dual hemisphere “westy!
Euphemistic Euphoria
West Coast IPA
Columbus Lupomax, Citra, Mosaic Cryo & Euphorics Pomelo Dream Terpenes
”This Westie brings together some pretty rad hop products from Haas, striking a balance between classic columbus dankness and some punchy citrus highs from the pomelo-forward terpenes!”

UPRIGHT BREWING
Starting at 6pm
Upright Brewing will close at the end of 2025 and shut down their brewery and homebase in NE Portland. It’s the end of an era, Upright Brewing helped kickstart the modern farmhouse ale movement, re-popularize craft lagers, and later pivoted to help lead the resurgence of cask beer. Thankfully we will be receiving one last shipment of kegs from them, so we all have one last opportunity to enjoy their beers here in California before they close up shop for good. So before the tears start falling let's give their beers one last look and see what's available!

Blind lady Ale House is one of San Diego’s original indie beer bars and a pioneer in the Farm to Pizza movement in San Diego. When BLAH opened it was named by Draft Magazine as one of the 100 Best Beer Bars in America over & over each year, appeared on Food Network’s Food Paradise, and featured in countless national and regional publications as a must visit for the up & coming San Diego beer scene. In 2010 BLAH became the first licensed brewery in Uptown San Diego and one of San Diego’s earliest “nano” breweries. For years BLAH’s food practices, beer program and attention to quality and sustainability landed it on the Eater Essential 38. Recently we’ve been names the 12th Best Beer Bar in America by Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine. We believe OG businesses like ours have continued to be essential to the indie food & beverage scene because of an unwaivering commitment to these practices. Over the years future business owners have held meetings in the space, reviewed blueprints, concepted menus and planmed their own food & beverage ventures at these tables. It feels good to be that spot that has been the launching pad for so many good things.
Speaking of launching…..
About 2 years after opening BLAH, the concept of TIGER!TIGER! was born out of a one- night-only sandwich event where Socheth, one of our very first employees, introduced us to the future Pork Belly Bahn mi. T!T! opened on El Cajon Blvd (off 30th Street) back when the area was know as “The Dark Zone” when there were no street lights and the neighborhood was known for its strip bars, pawn shops and cheap rents. Immediately after opening T!T! was named one of America’s 100 Best Beer Bars, was featured in Sunset Magazine, was on the Eater Essential 38, and showcased on both Food Paradise and Diners Drive-ins & Dives. Sadly, T!T! closed down during COVID lockdowns and was unable to re-open due to lease problems and financial issues.
In 2014 Panama 66 opened at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. This seemed like a crazy leap for the owners of a couple “beer bars,” but The Museum was open to making a change and offering food & drink that would appeal to a broader local and tourist market. P66 is now a hub in Balboa Park serving endless glasses of SD Indie Beer, countless cocktails and plate after plate of regionally sourced food. P66 has also been named San Diego’s Best Jazz Venue multiple years, one of the cities Best Patios, and Best New Bars.
