From Rogue Brewing, Newport, Oregon
Very nice

Congrats! You found the one good beer Rogue makes! Most overrated Oregon Brewery ever...

Think I tried the Dead Guy Pale Ale once and remember thinking “it’s just OK”.
The Hazy IPA sounds familiar, might’ve sampled it at Pelican in Pacific City last Fall. If so, it obviously didn’t make much of an impression.
Pelican….. there’s another acclaimed brewery that fails to thrill me.

And here's my latest periodic check-in of recents....

Gravity Bound "Basket Case" blackberry & lemonade gose. Not his best one, needs a little more oomph to it.

Ex Novo "Pale Ale - Single Hop Series: Strata." Nice pale ale. Very smooth, the strata hops give a little "fruity" flavor.

Quarter Celtic Brewpub "Good's Conundrum" hazy IPA. This style is not their forte but he did pretty solid with this one

Gravity Bound "Crystal View" kolsch. Really good....light, refreshing, great on a warm day....excellent example of the style.

Gravity Bound "Canopy Calls" hazy DIPA. This guy does hazy so well, always top tier!

I really like their cream ale (Kiwanda). But as I'm not a fan of IPAs, they don't really offer much else of interest to me.

Any recommendations for a craft brewery in San Diego? Preferably a place that doesn’t limit themselves to IPAs.

I stopped at Pelican on one of my Oregon Coast trips. Not bad by any means but not top tier stuff. The location in Pacific City is super nice though - that atmosphere on the ocean brings the beer up a notch.

Rogue make some decent beer, and the brewery in Newport is a cool spot for lunch. We were there for a wedding and could walk from our houseboat b&b so we took advantage. Had a few good IPA's from them, and a few that were so-so.

I was in Newport twice last year but never long enough to try any of their breweries.
The Pelican in Pacific City is a beaut. We went mid week in late September and it was still packed.
Their new location on Siletz Bay in the southern part of Lincoln City is spectacular too, they must have spent a ton on that place.

Is it just me or does the market seem to be flooded with IPA's and...um fancy beer cans

Yes, up here in Vancouver it seems like IPAs are everywhere.
Many are quite good but
I wonder if some people drink them because they think they’re supposed to, whether or not they actually like them is secondary.
The other one is sours.
Nice to taste a sample, but a whole pint?
No thanks
