I'm pretty sure these guys were friends and know each other pretty well, so I have to think Yuseff knew what he was going in to on this one.
Being on the East coast, I have only tried one Ballast Point beer, the Calico Amber. We tasted it in a blind tasting of amber ales for Ale Street News, and it was one of the highest scorers. I think I put it as my second favorite. I'll be heading out to San Diego tomorrow actually, so maybe I can get a chance to stop in to the brewery.
