Podcasts about my yard live

San Diego Beer Week is in full swing and it all wraps this weekend with the Capital of Craft Festival. All week Erick and Estela from the San Diego Brewers Guild joins us for a tour of San Diego County beers and will give us some insight on what to expect this weekend. Our first stop in this tour of beer is San Marcos' own My Yard Live and their 4 Stone Cold Dudes Pilsner.

The staff favorite!  One of the most coveted IPAs among the My Yard Live staff and patrons, Flight of the Kiwi New Zealand IPA!  Find out why this beer is so beloved.

Malty beer!  IPAs are amazing but sometime your palate needs a break.  Enter Red Rover Amber from My Yard Live!  With as much depth of flavor and drinkability as humanly possible this brew makes a great addition with and to food, find out how!

Its almost a shame for his noted distain towards the style because head brewer Shaggy from My Yard Live, Shaggy makes this beer so dang well!  A fantastic example of how Hazy IPAs should be, but no two version of Muddy Waters is ever the same because of one subtle twist.

They are back for another week!  The crew from My Yard Live in San Marcos kicks off their 5th Anniversary on Friday so we're counting down the days with beers!  We start the week off with another 4 Dudes collaboration beer that is crushable and perfect for when the weather is HOT, like it is now.

Beware the unmarked bottle!  Shaggy had put this bottle on hold for a celebratory toast, but instead brought it to share on a Friday.  A beer he strictly brews for My Yard Live's barrel program, this monster stout spends a good portion of it's life in Bourbon barrels then gets inoculated with different flavor blends, this creation the Hawaiian Baba Yaga will haunt your dreams!

A welcomed Flight of the Concords reference, Flight of the Kiwi's is the New Zealand IPA from My Yard Live.  Featuring all New Zealand hops to drive tropicality of flavor but balanced out enough to make it very satisfying for West Coast IPA fans.  There is also a small secret about this beer that's brewing for the My Yard Live anniversary, listen to find out what.

There is nothing very sexy about a Brown Ale, especially in a hop obsessed town like San Diego.  But the keepers of the Brown Ale flame like Shaggy from My Yard Live have been honing and perfecting their beers for decades (or just over a decade in this case).  Don't fear the dark beer and experience what 14+ years of recipe perfecting can do in My Yard Live's Man Cub American Brown Ale.

Leave it to a brewer to set a "romantic date night" in the brewery to make a beer for their significant other.  But, it seemed to work out for Shaggy from My Yard Live as the creation between him and his wife Basic Batch landed them an award in the World Beer Cup.  Hear about how he'll never, ever live that moment down and what makes this beer so special.

The crew from My Yard Live has a lot of stories to tell and we start our week of beers with one that reflects both family and community, Quatro Amigos Mexican Lager, a beer that started its life as part of the 4DUDESBREW charity arm of the brewery.  Listen to the story and you'll understand why this is such a beloved beer at the brewery.

This weeks BNiSD is a little bit different than your typical episode but very special. This week Cody sits down with three brewers while the four of them collectively do a full home brew mesh live on the show! Well, the show is recorded during breaks, waiting periods and stuff. Tune in to hear Ben from Dark Pine Brewing, Shaggy from My Yard Live and Josh from Pier View Brewing sit down, tell their stories and some of their brewing history and tune in for some very deep and in depth home brew conversation. Hear all about brewing techniques, equipment, styles, hops, yeast and even water treatment. We touch on everything this week, folks. Tune in, you don't want to miss out on this very fun and very educational episode of BNiSD!

You have a great business concept, but how do you raise the money needed to realize your vision? Check out the Digital Hospitality interview with My Yard Live Beer Co. co-owners Mark McLarry and Jamie Minotti to learn how they turned their grand vision into reality step by step. "(We thought) let's do something brick-and-mortar that encompasses (the) festival spirit: bringing people together, live music, good food, good beverages," said My Yard Live CEO Mark McLarry on the Digital Hospitality podcast interview. "What space can we create where everyone's going to be happy?" My Yard Live Beer Co. is a 17,500-square-foot entertainment center, restaurant, and brewery, in San Marco, California.

As business owners, those qualities help you move forward even in the face of adversity (of which there will be lots). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEIOIxekwUM My Yard Live had to shut down in the pandemic. What the owners learned from the experience was how dedicated their regulars were to their community space. "During the pandemic, we had people who were regulars that actually approached us to invest," Jamie Minotti said on the Digital Hospitality podcast interview recorded live at My Yard Live. "And they actually ended up investing in is in the middle of the pandemic. And we told them not to." "They said, 'This is our space. We don't want this to go anywhere." "We are doing something more than just flipping burgers and selling beers," he continued. "We are doing something for the community, and that's why we're here."

San Diego Beer Week has ended its 10 day run but that doesn't mean the fruits of #SDBW are all gone. Esthela, with our original producer, David Martin, went Home to talk about our collaboration beer, Home of Indie, The Homebrewer/Home Brew Co., homebrewing, and friendship. George, Founder/Owner, Jacob, Head Brewer, and Liquor Store Mike join us for a live show during the release party for Home of Indie! It was incredible that we got to do another version last year's SDBW collab with Jacob. I feel like we have a tradition going now! It's a single malt and single hop, West Coast IPA, using Pure Idaho Malt and Nelson. The beer turned out great and will be around for a while, so get to the source and try it!If you're not totally beer weeked out, our first #SDBeer Holiday Food Drive benefit happens on Wed, November 13th at My Yard Live at 7pm. Nine brewery representatives will compete in a few rounds of beer trivia for glory (and your entertainment) in an effort to encourage you to bring out food for the SD Food Bank.

North County and Beyond! The team is back together. Cassidy is back from his month long (or 8 day long) trip to Hawaii. Chris shot a 103 at St. Mark and caught "And Two if by Sea" at La Paloma. Did Bruce Bochy see Petco for the last time? We are now 2-3 in Adult League Slow-Pitch Softball. We chat Latitude 33's Blood Orange IPA. There's a new pancake shop in Cbad, $1 oysters every Thursday in Encinitas, and My Yard Live is open for business. Also, Why do you need buyer's agent to represent you? Oh.....and what are a group of armadillos called? Tune in!

We have another special episode for you, which we taped at Eppig Brewing’s Waterfront Biergarten in Point Loma (if you haven’t been here yet, you have to check it out!) We’re celebrating the huge collaboration we did with three local craft breweries to make three special-edition beers to coincide with our Best Of San Diego issue. From Eppig Brewing, there’s the Best of San Diego hoppy pilsner; Fall Brewing Company crafted a Best of San Diego kettle sour, and Coronado Brewing Co. created a Best of San Diego IPA. You can sample our collaborative beers at each brewery, and at our Best of San Diego party on August 16. This week's special guests are Clayton LeBlanc, co-founder and one of the head brewers at Eppig Brewing, and Erin Meanley Glenny, Editor-in-Chief of San Diego Magazine. They gave us a behind-the-scenes look into how the special beer collaboration came to life, how long it took and how timing was everything (since freshness is crucial for beer). Clayton’s pick for Two People, $50 was Tobeys 19th Hole Restaurant in Balboa Park. Erin recommends the happy hour at Nine-Ten in La Jolla (they have $5 wines!), Troy liked Eve in Encinitas, and Lauren went to The Rose wine bar in South Park. In Hot Plates, My Yard Live just opened in San Marcos—it’s a huge public and entertainment space for people of all ages: it has a playground for kids, a brewery, bar and restaurant, and games like bocce ball and shuffleboard. Fort Oak started a new chef’s counter experience with just 14 seats that has a six-course tasting menu for $100 (wine pairings cost an additional $40). The cross-country touring Uncorked Wine Fest is coming to Del Mar this Saturday, July 27. Enjoy over 150 wines from across the globe, watch the races, then stay for a concert by the country band Midland. Carruth Cellars—a tasting room in Little Italy with an adorable patio—is now serving pizza. This week’s Hot Topic is about CVT Soft Serve, a popular ice cream truck in Los Angeles, which has been making headlines because the owner is absolutely fed up with influencers asking him for free ice cream, so he’s charging them double the price for even asking. The Best of San Diego Party is just around the corner! Taste samples from more than 80 restaurants at the most delicious evening of the year. It’s on August 16 at Liberty Station. This event sells out every year, so don't wait to get your tickets. Insiders get a special discount on tickets and front of the line entry. As always, we want to hear from you! Call us at 619-744-0535 and leave a message. Or if you’re too shy to call, you can email HappyHalfHour@sdmag.com. You can give us your recommendations for Two People, $50, tell us about any news happening in San Diego’s culinary world, or let us know who you’d like to hear featured as a guest on the podcast.

Another exciting adventure through North County San Diego! We chat weekends, Universal Studios, and visits to the Erickson farm. Is Cassidy a cat or a dog guy? Kawhi is coming to Cali. Where do the Pads (and Giants) stand in the wildcard? Chris actually went surfing. When is the free fishing day? Taste of Encinitas is coming up. How do you buy a home when you have to sells yours first? And what is My Yard Live?

If you've been a craft beer fan for a while you may have heard the name Pat Korn.  Before joining the team at Vista Brewing, Korn was the Barrel Master for Green Flash's Cellar 3 - the offshoot responsible for beers like Silva Stout, Lustrous Fermento, and Natura Morta. After departing Green Flash in early 2018 he worked a short stint with Atlanta's SweetWater Brewing.  Korn was also part of the initial team slated to launch a brewery concept called My Yard Live in San Diego, along with SweetWater founder Freddy Bensch.  Korn tells us as the project moved along it became clear to him that their visions didn't align.  So begins his life in Texas at Vista Brewing. Located in the Texas Hill Country just outside of Austin, Vista is a brewery, restaurant, and farm.  In addition to their beer this "destination brewery" features hyper-local food, an impressive wine list (with on-site sommelier), and a large beer garden.  Future plans include an "eco-friendly tiny home hotel", event pavilion, and native fruit orchard. We chat with Korn about making the move from San Diego to the Texas countryside and what his plans are for the future of Vista.  As expected, there are many things he doesn't intend to change.  He tells us that, in time, he'll bring his own character to the brewing in places where it matches with the personality of Vista Brewing.  He's excited to work with some local Texas wine barrels and expand the barrel program and shares some info with us on the Vista Barrel Club, offering exclusive beers to members and recently expanded to 100 total memberships. We wrap up with some details on the Destination Brew Fest.  An invitational beer festival featuring lagers and farmhouse style ales benefiting the Texas Brewshed Alliance.

This week, we chatted with Mary Kay Waters, owner of Waters Fine Foods & Catering, which has been in business in San Diego for almost 30 years. Waters describes herself as a food perfectionist with very high standards who refuses to accept anything less than the best. She also has a café that sells “fine foods to go” on Morena Boulevard that you can visit (Troy likes the Coconut Magic Bar). Waters also just released a cookbook, which you can pick up at the café or on their website. Her pick for two people, $50 was DaoFu. In Hot Plates, we’ve got some North County news! My Yard Live is opening in San Marcos in the old Hometown Buffet space, and will have a restaurant, brewery and a patio with a dedicated kids’ play space all under one roof. The place will be huge — over 17,000 square feet — and is opening in June. Stone Brewing Co. is back in the pantry aisle at Whole Foods — they teamed up with Homegrown Meats to create two new beef jerkies that are marinated in Tangerine Express IPA and Arrogant Bastard Ale. One Paseo has officially opened! The mixed-use development project in Carmel Valley has been steadily building buzz over the past year, and curated a mix of local and national eateries: we can expect Michael Mina’s International Smoke, The Butchery, Ways & Means Oyster House, and the first San Diego location for Blue Bottle Coffee to open here. Juniper & Ivy is having its five-year anniversary this month and is celebrating by bringing back some classic dishes from the original menu, like the squid ink linguine and clams, beef cheek dumplings and grape toast. In news elsewhere, we talked about La Plaza Cocina, a museum devoted to Mexican food and culture that is set to open in downtown L.A. this spring. The Mexican food mecca will not only have exhibitions and lectures, but interactive programs and events. Are mail-order meal kits doomed? This is a Hot Topic in the food world right now, and headlines in a variety of news outlets recently asked this question. Companies like Blue Apron were all the rage when the concept first launched in 2012, but it seems the novelty has worn off. If you haven’t signed up yet for San Diego Magazine’s Insiders program, do it now for the chance to dine with food critic Troy Johnson and Claudette Zepeda-Wilkins, chef of El Jardin. Aside from exclusive events like this, our Insiders also get the benefits of a monthly hosted happy hour, free tickets to shows, and ongoing discounts at restaurants and bars around town.
