Hah yes I was indeed at the bar yesterday! You can say Hi, I don’t bite much.
Lost cause for some pizza and a flight. Jakal is tasting delicious (the furthest to the right). Sage was that you at the bar?
Pizza and mead at Lost Cause was a highlight of my trip to San Diego last summer.

Please buy some so I don’t buy more. They reset my allocation this morning.

Those haven't always been this expensive have they? 250$ seems steep as hell.
They started at $100/375 and $200/750 so in the grand scheme of things that have inflated in price since 2013 I would put this behind the McDonalds curve.
I guess Boneflower is opening a public tasting room with a preview this weekend. TBD if I make it over there.
Ohhhh of course there is drama around this.
But I am relieved to say that if I want to check this place out at anytime I don’t have to worry about anymore awkward interactions where Aaron Schavey and I pretend not to dislike each other. He’s out of the picture entirely.
I saw he posted looking for part time work..... He's no longer a part of bone flower?Ohhhh of course there is drama around this.

All I saw were a couple of guys sniping at the guy opening the public space. Whether he is the current owner, a former partner or what I don’t know. But the Facebook drama mill is telling me Aaron is out.
Sounds like whatever is going on this weekend is an informal preview and that they may not have completed their licensing. One guy threatened to call the cops for having people visit the space for a bottle share and burgers today for daring to proceed without Aaron and to try invite people to see the space before every last piece of paperwork. Another guy was chiming in that he would never come there. All insinuating something irregular must have happened for Aaron to no longer be involved.
I know very little. It surprised the hell out of me to get a friend request from someone affiliated with them at all considering how chilly Aaron and I have typically been toward each other. Always polite enough to each other at events like this weekend. We could say hi and share a drink but it’s always been an exchange we both want to end quickly.
I’m in the area a lot and weekends like this one are less fun if we can’t all be friendly to each other so I am willing to give the new guy a fair shot.

Well, we got the tea last night and lawyers and litigation bit is still very much ongoing.
In completely unrelated news, Small Batch Ginger - Costa Rican batch (B2) is drinking great right now.

I am hesitant to put what I know on the site because of the extent to which I have been made aware lawyers have become involved. It’s messy, contentious, there are no winners.
On a more positive note, beautiful day for Sugarbelt Fest
Notes so far: glass broken 5 minutes into GA by a barefoot woman. Far too much pineapple and pear meads for my liking. The ONLY lines we found to stand in were timed tappings for pear pyments. Almost everything Pye Road brought was pear. I know it is a me problem not liking fermented pear, but ick.
Standouts so far:

I adore his pear stuff.
I have a distinct aversion to fermented pear. I know it’s a me thing. I have never liked it.
