For our February First Friday, we are switching it up to FIRST SATURDAY!
Please join us at the Stuffed Sandwich, Saturday February 4th at 12:00 NOON in San Gabriel.
1145 East Las Tunas Dr.
San Gabriel, CA 91776 (626) 285-9161
Marlene has agreed to set up a blind tasting. Price according to # of participants but about $10. If you know Marlene; then you know you want in on this! The theme for February for the taps is Barley Wines so we strongly recommend carpooling with a designated driver or public transport!!! Stuffed Sandwich is part of our local beer history as it specialized in craft beer before it was even called craft beer. There is seating in the outside patio… but dress for the weather!
This is a ‘drive yourself’ event so try and arrange car pools if you can!
It is gratifying that we have resumed gathering in person, but as always we encourage and expect everyone will be vigilant about their own health to ensure the groups safety! Please observe all safety precautions and stay home if you do not feel well.
Hope to see you all there!
Looking for a home for some growlers
A note from Adam of the closed Harajuku:
“I have pretty much wrapped up everything with the Taproom. One of the last things I’m trying to find a home for is about 270 remaining growler bottles and a case of caps to go with them. Would the Pacific Gravity group be interested in them, or do you know of any smaller breweries that might want them? I’m not looking to sell them. Ideally, I could trade them all for a few beers. The growlers have both a 32 oz. and 1 liter fill line. Here’s a cut sheet below with specs.”

It is great that we can all get together in person, but as always we encourage and expect everyone will be vigilant about their own health to ensure the groups safety! Please observe all safety precautions and stay home if you do not feel well.
Yeastside Brewers San Diego bus trip next month, September 17
The YS is planning a bus trip to some San Diego breweries for September 17th and we wanted to extend an invite to PG. We’re still in the planning stages and looking to get as good a deal as we can for the bus and for us, so the more, the merrier, and cheaper. We also have a call out to the WASH folks for interest.
Breweries we’re considering stopping at are White Labs, Setting Sun (sake), Lost Cause Meadery, Duck Foot, Pure Project, California Wild Ales, and Black Plague. Ambitious, but a few of these are very close to each other and we’ll be making adjustments as necessary on the day of. Some of these breweries should have food trucks, so no dedicated eating stop – we’ll all be responsible for ourselves.
We’ll meet at Union Station and be on the bus and on our way at 10am latest. We expect to be back around 8pm or so.
Cost will be approximately $35 to $50 per rider depending on how well we can do on the bus / turnout. Payment could be via email / Venmo, or we might have a Square on the bus, and cash.
Anyone interested should contact Terry Molloy (brewfest @ pacific gravity)
