A welcomed Flight of the Concords reference, Flight of the Kiwi's is the New Zealand IPA from My Yard Live.  Featuring all New Zealand hops to drive tropicality of flavor but balanced out enough to make it very satisfying for West Coast IPA fans.  There is also a small secret about this beer that's brewing for the My Yard Live anniversary, listen to find out what.

There is nothing very sexy about a Brown Ale, especially in a hop obsessed town like San Diego.  But the keepers of the Brown Ale flame like Shaggy from My Yard Live have been honing and perfecting their beers for decades (or just over a decade in this case).  Don't fear the dark beer and experience what 14+ years of recipe perfecting can do in My Yard Live's Man Cub American Brown Ale.

Leave it to a brewer to set a "romantic date night" in the brewery to make a beer for their significant other.  But, it seemed to work out for Shaggy from My Yard Live as the creation between him and his wife Basic Batch landed them an award in the World Beer Cup.  Hear about how he'll never, ever live that moment down and what makes this beer so special.

The crew from My Yard Live has a lot of stories to tell and we start our week of beers with one that reflects both family and community, Quatro Amigos Mexican Lager, a beer that started its life as part of the 4DUDESBREW charity arm of the brewery.  Listen to the story and you'll understand why this is such a beloved beer at the brewery.

Rounding out the week with a stein full of Bonzi Beach, the West Coast Double IPA from Pure.  An insane experience in flavor as this 8.5% ABV DIPA hides all the alcohol in the Nelson, Citra and Simcoe hops giving it an unbelievably light body.

Taking advantage of their fresh crop of Citra hops, Pure Project has crafted a banger of an IPA using nothing but fresh Citra Cryo hops.  Citra Spree is it a true experience in the flavor of this beloved hop, get it now!

Never afraid to take on something new and experiment, Pure Project took the burgeoning beer style of Hazy and crafted their own identity with their "Murky" beers.  Proving at the time that Hazy doesn't mean lazy, Murklands was one of those iconic beers that blurred the lines between a West Coast flavor profiles and East Coast haze.

A Blonde Ale truly in it's own category.  One sip of Tropical Mist Citrus Blonde and you'll be transported to Costa Rica, feeling the jungle mist on your face.  Fresh Valencia oranges, California grown wheat and house murky IPA yeast combine to create flavors you'll want to come back to again and again.

A brand new been from Pure Project they just announced last week in collaboration with Patagonia Provisions.  It uses a new grain  called Kernza that not only adds an unforgettable flavor profile but also is a better more sustainable grain for the planet.

Tomme hinted at it earlier in the week that there was a Double IPA in their line up of new Lost Abbey beers...as we wrap up the week, he delivered!

This beer evokes it's name sake, drinking this IPA will bring you into the right side of happiness.  Brewed with a currently experimental hop it blends the line between traditional West Coast IPAs and today's more tropical/hazy IPAs.

Being a fan of San Diego beers, if someone mentions the style Rye IPA there is one beer in specific many people think of, this is not that beer.  In fact, this beer doesn't even resemble that, Unseen Things is it's own unique take on making a Tropical Rye IPA that is a must try beer.

With a new tasting room comes new beers and whole portfolio of different styles.  Bingo Lady is a blonde for the sophisticated and some might even say eternally classy version of a Blonde Ale.

Lots to talk about with Tomme from The Lost Abbey!  He's got a brand new tasting room in Vista along with a lot of new beers they are pumping out of it.  Oddly enough we're starting off the week with not a new beer or hard  seltzer, but hop water called Holy Water.

Rolling into the weekend with a masked double IPA known only as the Foam Ranger!  Find out from Mike how this smooth drinking beer came into the world.

This IPA has nothing to prove because it's already proved it.  The bronze medal winner in the West Coast IPA category in the San Diego Beer News Awards, please welcome to your glass, Incognito IPA.

We called down the thunder! Jacked Up brought a beer true to their name, an 11% IPA monster they call Dragonfruit IPA.

Taking a side road from another Jacked Up Beer, Feel My Rasp offers an amazing pale ale profile with a perfect balance of Raspberry on the backend!

it's been years (like pre-covid) since Jacked Up has dropped by the Alt 94/9 studios.  This week we play catch up and talk about their beers starting with a Cream Ale called, Cream Ale!

Behold the power of the Burning Beard Cool Ship!  Using the power of the wild yeast floating in the East County air Burning Beard is crank out some amazing Lambic and sour ales, Gueuza-a-palooza might be the best one e-v-e-r.
