Serious Eats’ Maggie Hoffman is back this week with a review of “‘mostly” sour American fruit beers. We’re pleased to see three of our beers — Amorosa, Cuvee de Tomme and Red Poppy — among those earning a very respectable 4 plus out of 5 stars.
Serious Eats reviews American fruit sour beers
From the story:
Ask a beer fanatic what they’re into these days, and chances are they’ll wax poetic about sour beers.
Inspired by the puckery beers of Belgium, American brewers are playing with yeasts and bacteria and fruit like never before.
While we’re not really all that interested in who can make the sourest beer imaginable, we’re thrilled at all the great, creative options coming out of American breweries. Some of these delectable examples are juicy, zippy, and full of real fruit flavor; others are funky and horsey, quite challenging for the beginner–and sometimes thrilling to the nerdiest among us…
As you can see from the photo, the story also includes reviews of New Glarus, Captain Lawrence, Russian River, and several other breweries’ fruit brews. A great read.

Ever since we found out that Santa is a big fan of The Lost Abbey (and that he has a vacation condo here in San Diego), we’ve been able to persuade him to turn out in the red suit to take photos with the folks attending our Christmas in July fundraiser and celebration. Of course, Santa demands the best, so we also convince famed-photographer Jon Schulz to step away from the supermodels, rock stars and professional athletes for a day and help us out.
Take a gander below at the photos this year’s visit from St Nick. (Sure, a few of the people haven’t sat with Santa in a while — for some, a long while — but the results are always entertaining.)
Oh, and if your picture appears here, feel free to download it and use it.

We celebrated Christmas in July this past Saturday (July 24) with the release of barrel-aged Santa’s Little Helper and a fundraiser to benefit the Marine Corp’s Toys for Tots foundation.
The weather was perfect, the bands were great, the food was outstanding and everyone who attended was fantastic! We raised an estimated $7,500 in toys and cash donations — so many toys, in fact, that our Marine Corp representative, Sgt. Onsey, had a heck of a time to getting all the toys into the truck back to Camp Pendleton.
Everyone who attended can be happy in knowing that they’ve helped to make a kid’s Christmas a special one this year. Thanks to all who participated and made this the event it was!
Here is the photo gallery from Christmas in July 2010 (Photos with Santa will be available soon):
