That's a safe bet
The other Bottle Conditioned beer from Bridgeport is their new Surpris
Speaking of Karl Strauss, anyone ever seen Windansea Hefe in the store anywhere? They seem to sell every other Strauss brew at BevMo, but not that one.
Saw it at BevMo in Woodland Hills this past Tuesday.

I spent some time in BC recently. Didn't sample any Kokanee, but I finally got to try some of the Sleeman varieties. Canadian co-workers of mine had been hyping Sleeman for years (they don't export it).
Honey Brown Lager is very good. The cream ale is a little light for my tastes, but is a pretty good beer overall. Didn't have a chance to dig into any other of their beers. I was interested to try their "clear" ale, not knowing exactly what that is. I also found it humorous that they have both "cream" and "clear" ales in their line-up. They should package mixed six packs with three cream ales and three clear ales. Great endorsement opportunity for Barry Bonds.
El Jefe is at the Valencia BevMo as well. Just ask your local one to order some, I'm pretty sure you can place personal orders without massive mark-ups

That's where I usually get it when I eat there (it's right on my way home from work). I think I might need to go out to dinner tonight. I've never seen it in bottles there like they have everything else, but I'll have to investigate further. I was just thinking if there was someplace convenient that carried it, like BevMo and so forth, I would get it more often to have at home.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!
I'm guessing that it is a seasonal brew? They don't bottle them and rotate different seasonals throughout the year?

Anyone, especially those of you in OC, tried anything from Capistrano Brewing Co? I just saw their product for the first time in my local high-end convenience mart (you know, the kind of place where you can pick up a toothbrush and a nice, but overpriced, bottle of wine at midnight). Never heard of them before and their website doesn't say anything about when they were founded.
Honey Pale Ale sounds good. I'll give it a try soon.
Lost Coast makes a couple of really great beers. They have quickly become my favorite brewery. You can get most of their stuff at BevMo as well (I even saw it in a Ralph's the other day).
My favorite is the Apricot Wheat which is a great summer time beer. The only problem is they don't bottle it which means ordering a keg or going to the yardhouse which has it on tap.
Actually every beer they make is really, really good but if I had to pick another one or two to recommend it would be the Downtown Brown and the Alleycat Amber. They also make a nice IPA but it is hard to find.
OK so I mentioned Naja's cause they have 77 beers on tap here are a few:
Fat Tire Amber
Stone IPA
Alaskan Amber
Arrogant Bastard
Deschutes Black Butte
Deschutes Mirror Pond
And they have a few hundred bottled beers
I lived in south Redondo many moons ago and have conducted many sessions at Naja's.
Didn't really feel like reading through all the posts so I don't know if these have been mentioned but I'll name them anyway.
The first is the best beer I've ever tasted. Karl Strauss Windansea. It's a hefeweisen with banana, vanilla, and clove flavoring. Unfortunately I don't know any place that sells it other than the Karl Strauss brewery. Anybody know? It's like dessert with alcohol.
The second is a Canadian beer called Kokanee. I've only seen it in Canada. Can't find it here. Likewise, if anyone knows a place around here, let me know.
P.S. Steigel is great too. I drank it in Austria. Can't find it here either.
