Also had some time off work last week. Headed out for a solo round of some disc golf~!
Even par after playing around once. I still got it.
Since I was in the area, I went to El Toro Brewing Co for lunch.
Great spot in downtown Morgan Hill. 26 house brewed beers. Yep, 26. And 2 house made sodas.
4 versions of the Poppy, 2 different IPAs, a double IPA, oatmeal stout, imperial stout, 2 vintages of their holiday barleywine, 3 fruit beers, a California common, blond, Kolsch, golden, and more. Yee Ha!
Had a flight of the Poppy Jasper Amber Ale, their flagship.
The flight included the standard issue Poppy, and 3 dry hopped versions with different hops in each. Amirillo, Centennial, and Cascades. Cool idea, and makes an already good beer better, IMO.
Food aint bad either. Cheese pizza and their new red IPA.
El Toro is a brewery to seek out. The selection and quality of all the brews is great.
Oh yeah. Also saw Mudhoney for about the 20th time in Santa Cruz. Good times. They're still great.
