plenzmd1 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Heading to SoCal for a few days starting Friday. Need some specific help on two subjets 1) Folks who I am staying with asked what kind of beer I would like. I have been really getting into the hoppy IPAs lately, and Dogfish 60 has been my goto beer for the last 5 months or so, but have enjoyed the Southern Tier and Troegs Nugget Nectar as well. S so, any suggestions on a CA Microbrew, that is somewhat readily available in a normal grocery store in LA? Like Sierra as well, but would love to try some differant beers while I am out there. 2) In San Diego for the weekend, we are thinking of going to Hodads for a burger for Saturday lunch.http://www.hodadies.com/ Any locals tell me if 1) the hype is correct..is this really the best burger in the country??? 2) the wait will be over 40 minutes or so on a Saturday morning about 11.30? BTW, we will have 4 kids with us between 7-10, so sitting at the bar and getting tanked that early in the day not really an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for question #1- I recommend Arrogant Bastard Ale by Stone Brewing up in Escondido. Good Stuff! Regarding a good burger- save yourself the wait and a few dollars and just go to In and Out Burger. They have great food at a reasonable price and the time you save waiting for a burger you can spend touring the area. That's my $.02. Either way, enjoy your visit!
