Real Ale Festival at Pizza Port Carlsbad this weekend. The most amazing selection of over 45 cask conditioned beers all poured from firkins! Went last year and some of the beers were amazing. Hoping for a repeat. Taking the Coaster. Only 11 bones round trip. Considering gas is almost 5 bucks a gallon it's a bargain.
