Due to lack of interest, the OC Road trip has been cancelled. Sorry for the late notice for those of you who were planning on attending but we were doing all we could to make it happen. We’ll have full refunds for those of you who paid.
A group of us are planning on visiting Old Orange, Bootleggers, and the Bruery informally on Saturday. If you are interested in details, please let me know.
Again, my apologies,

It’s time for another visit to the Carriage House Taproom! As usual, the event officially begins at 7:00pm and ends when Dan and Anne kick the last one of us out (around 11).
Dan has a great home “tavern” and welcomes all PG members to partake of his hospitality. Guest kegs are welcome. If you plan to bring a keg, let Dan know (danhakes@mac.com) and he will set up a jockey box. Bring homebrew, commercial beer, and anything else you would like to drink.
Our hosts will graciously prepare some food, but this First Friday is a potluck, so please bring something to share – finger food is especially great.
We will be out in the backyard for what is hopefully a warm spring evening, but jackets are recommended after the sun goes down. There is a dartboard (feel free to bring your own darts if you’d like!) and a fire pit that may get lit up later in the evening.
Park anywhere in the neighborhood. Parking can be tough to find, so carpooling is encouraged. A designated driver is also recommended.
Hope to see you all there!

Hi there. This is a friendly reminder that our OC Road Trip II is coming up fast on Saturday, June 9th. Response thus far has been light and unless we get a solid showing very soon, we’ll need to cancel the trip. Please don’t let this happen! Bootleggers and Old Orange are great breweries that are really looking forward to hosting us and it’s sure to be a great time. Deadline for reserving your spot on the bus will be close of business at Culver City Home Brewing Supply on Sunday the 27th of May. Please drop your well-labeled payments off at the shop by then (cash or personal check made out to Pacific Gravity).
As always, please contact Kurt if you have any questions. We hope to see you there!

The June road trip to Orange County is now official. Mark the date on your calendar and prepare for a good time.
When: Saturday, June 9th, from 11am to approximately 5pm.
Where: Bootleggers Brewery in Fullerton and Old Orange Brewing in Orange.
How Much: $20
Pacific Gravity will again be rallying the troops for a foray behind the Orange Curtain to two new (to Pacific Gravity) breweries that are thrilled to be hosting us: Bootleggers Brewery in Fullerton and Old Orange Brewing in…wait for it…Orange.
Bootleggers is a great brewery that recently celebrated their 4th anniversary and signed up a new distributor to get their beers into more locations. They are known for Knuckle Sandwich, a great DIPA, although I am a fan of the huge range of beers they pour in their tasting room (frequently as many as 20). They range between the punch of Knuckle Sandwich and Golden Chaos (a Belgian Golden Strong based on an old homebrewing recipe) to sessionable beers like Palomino Pale and Prohibition Mild. They were nice enough to offer to open early to accommodate us, so we’ll have the run of the place as well.

Old Orange Brewing is a newer brewery in the shadows of Anaheim Stadium and the Honda Center. They are looking to be a community brewery and have a range of great beers. From the Orange Street Fair-inspired Kolsch to my personal favorite, Old Dummy, there is a beer or two on the list that everyone will enjoy. I don’t think they are getting much, if any, beer into LA, so make the trip and one-up your beer nerd friends!

We are still in the process of sorting out the food situation, but something will be available to eat while we check out the breweries. Details to follow as we have ‘em.
The trip is open to anyone that is interested in attending, so please feel free to let friends know they are welcome to join us. As always, please contact me directly if you have any questions at roadtrips@pacificgravity.com and bring cash or checks to the next club event to reserve your seat.
Cheers,
Kurt
