We're kicking off our multi-day Disneyland trip report with everything that went down on Day 1—from coast-to-coast travel logistics to indulging in incredible food and drink around Downtown Disney.We start with trip planning details, including why we chose this time of year, how far in advance we booked, total costs, and what it took to get from Florida to Anaheim. We break down our travel day experience, our choice of transportation, and what it's like navigating the journey from the airport to the magic.Next, we dive into our stay at the charming and historic Candy Cane Inn, including fun facts (like how it was almost named the “Cinderella Inn” until Walt stepped in), amenities, and why it might be the best off-property value near Disneyland.Then we explore Downtown Disney, grabbing a bite at Naples Ristorante e Bar (spoiler: the Prosciutto e Melone pizza and mocktails are winners), shopping at World of Disney, and taking in the luxurious ambiance of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.Our evening wraps up with refreshing drinks—including an impressive non-alcoholic lineup—at Ballast Point Brewing Co., a flavorful dinner at the newly reimagined Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio, and a sweet stop at Beignets Expressed.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to a fellow Caleciano, podcaster, beer drinker and Brand Ambassador for Ballast Point Brewing Co., my guest today was Jeff Lozano. After living in SD for quite a while Jeff has temporarily come down to the Imperial Valley, specifically Calexico. We talked about what his experience was like growing up in Calexico, especially in the punk rock era/trasher era. Jeff also shared with me what made him fall in love with the small brewery/craft scene/bar and how he ended up working for Ballast Point. This will won't the last time you see or listen to Jeff on the podcast I really hope to collaborate with him in other projects that will benefit our community.

Hilary Cocalis is the Founder and Chief Go Getter at Sipwell Wine Co., a premium California canned wine brand. She's also the Principal at HilCo Brand Consulting and a Strategy Consultant at BEXBRANDS. With over a decade working with beverage brands, Hilary knows what goes into making a great company and a delicious drink.  Before founding her own business, Hilary served as the Vice President of Marketing at Ballast Point Brewing Co. During her time there, she helped grow the brand to a $1 billion acquisition by Constellation Brands. She also has experience in digital media, design direction, and product development in addition to her background in marketing. In this episode… Marketing is an essential component for beverage brands. We all know that the presentation and branding of your product are essential for success. But, did you know that distribution can be just as important? After all, before anyone can try your drink, it has to be available to them first. If anyone knows the importance of both, it's Hilary Cocalis. Hilary has spent much of her career in the beverage industry as a marketer. During her time at Ballast Point Brewing Co., she helped the company grow into a national brand and a $1 billion acquisition. Now she's brought all of that experience towards her own brand, Sipwell Wine Co. Today, she's here to offer some of those same principles to you. Darren Fox sits down with Hilary Cocalis, the Founder of Sipwell Wine Co., to talk about distribution and marketing for her canned wine brand. The two go over her story and how she's overcome the obstacles of starting her own beverage company. They also go into detail about the selection process for different types of wine and how she went in a different direction for carbonation. Hear the rest by checking out this episode of the Pitcher This! podcast.

Yes, you read that right!Yes, the sale of Ballast Point Brewing Company to Constellation Brands is when our friends over at Beer Night in San Diego coined using #IndieBeer instead of craft. Yes, the initial blow back on social media from that was insane for those of us that adopted the effort right away. Yes, eventually, everyone came around. Yes, that's what lead to the Brewers Association making a symbol to help consumers understand which beers are produced by independent breweries. Yes, it is why we're called The Indie Beer Show; we wanted to be extremely clear in what we support!We're stoked this Mt. Rushmore of #SDBeer is once again a member of the indie beer family and we're welcoming them back the safest way we can, with a live stream show for all of you!The beers we'll be featuring in this show:HougoumontKings & Convicts Brewing Co. - Pilsner - German - 4.8% ABV - 23 IBUs - Full of character, this lightly hopped Pilsner has notes of citrus, squeezed Kiwifruit and nectar fruits.Swingin' Friar AleBallast Point Brewing Company - Pale Ale - American - 5.5% ABV -Manta RayBallast Point Brewing Company - IPA - Imperial / Double - 8.5% ABV - 70 IBUs - This new IPA rises above the rest. We've developed many IPA recipes in our R&D program, but right from the tank, our Manta Ray Double IPA was a winner. Aromas of fresh, citrusy tangerine, melon and light pine leap from the beer and linger over a smooth finish. Like its namesake, this brew can sneak up on you – a big beer without a bite.High West Barrel Aged 2017 Victory at SeaBallast Point Brewing Company - Porter - Imperial / Double Coffee - 12% ABV - 35 IBUs - High West Bourbon/Rye Blend aged for 7 months. Layers of complexity emerge with notes of soft caramel and smoky oak over a dark chocolate and roasted almond bodyWe hope you enjoy this audio version of the live stream and want to remind you to join us every Thursday night at 6:30 on our Facebook or YouTube channels to watch it all (and drink along with us)!

Season 1, Episode 3 - A plethora of delicious craft brew on this week’s show reminds us that we are living in a great time in craft beer. This week on the show, we are quite possibly, drinking all the beers. Well, more like seven different beers, but hey, it’s still a lot of brew. Jason brings us some brews from the northwest from Bale Breaker Brewing and Fort Gorge Brewing. We wrap things up in the first segment with a tasty brew from Los Angeles based brewery, Monkish Brewing. Monkish Brewing, Fort George, and Bale Breaker Brewing Co. Feature: “Guess That Brew!” In the second segment of the show, we introduce our game of sorts, “Guess That Brew.” Basically, we read reviews of different beers from the internet and try to guess which beer the reviewer is describing. It’s actually pretty entertaining. Give it a listen, then try it out with your friends. Feature: “Going In Blind…” Hangar 24, Firestone Walker, Dogfish Head, and Ballast Point Brewing Co. beers for “Guess That Brew!” The final segment of the show is a true test of our collective beer analysis skills. We’re drinking four random brews, procured by our lovely assistant (and Jason’s significant other) Sara. Again, give the segment a listen and try it out for yourself. You’ll be surprised how much you really don’t know about your favorite brews. Cheers, and we’ll see you next week!

Today, we're looking at influence and marketing through the lens of the craft beer industry with brewer and brand ambassador for Ballast Point Brewing Co., Jeff Lozano.Jeff Lozano left a career in nursing to get his foot in the door of the San Diego brewing industry any way he could. He started as a weekend night-shift janitor at Ballast Point and worked his way up to brewer within three years. Jeff has worn many hats over the years; his climb has been fueled by punk rock and relentless thirst for great conversation. Ultimately, his career has led him to become one of the faces of the brand as an ambassador and host of “Dedicated to the Craft”. The podcast reflects what he values the most – sharing great stories with great people. He lives in Normal Heights with a wife of 5 years and two children, a daughter (2) and a son (18 months).In this episode of Under the Influence:How Jeff climbed the ranks at Ballast Point BrewingHow the synergy in brewing is reflected in the work cultureThe marketing and artistic branding of Ballast Point Brewing Co.How storytelling + transparency on social media leads to influenceWhit + Jeff's Ballast Point Brewing beer tastingConnect with Jeff:Jeff's IG: @jefflozano Ballast Point's IG: @ballastpointbrewing Website: ballastpoint.com Podcast: Dedicated to the CraftConnect with Whitney:Instagram: @whitneyeckisPodcast IG: @undertheinfluence.pod  Eckis Marketing: @eckismarketingGet Supr: @getsuprMore information about the show + businesses: whitneyeckis.comThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions
