GOAL

San Diego, CA
Pete - Original location described here has since closed. A+ location. I went here on a Saturday afternoon in late 2023 - went back a few times after. My intent was a quick stop at this new brewery before moving onto other awesome places in the area before heading to dinner. The beers were so good that I stayed here until dinner. They offer full and half pours and already have a bunch of options. It shares a courtyard with 2 other breweries, incredible place to visit.

West Coast IPA - 6.2% ABV
Pete
     Really damn good west coast. Tiny bit bitter and pretty lemony.

GOAL Bred Ones
New England IPA - 6.4% ABV
Pete
     Awesome beer. It's dank but not overwhelming. Reminds me of Trillium, which is high praise.

GOAL Buko S'mores
Imperial Pastry Stout - 10% ABV
Pete
     This is an excellent stout with all the flavors of s'mores. Maybe a tad too sweet, but that's OK.

New England IPA - 6.4% ABV
Pete
     Collaboration with Pizza Port. Very creamy with a little citrus. I know that isn't exactly an enticing description, but  this is a great beer that's just hard to describe why.

GOAL Hard Nectar MIA Cuvee
Smoothie Sour - 7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the left. Collaboration with J. Wakefield. Awesome beer. Super fruity but not crazy sweet, more tart than sweet. And it's incredible.

GOAL Juice Calamansi Mimosa
Imperial Sour - 10.5% ABV
Pete
     This is a great beer. It's quite limey and pretty wine-y from the chardonnay grapes (not to mention the booze). Somehow that combination works.

Sour - 6% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. This is literally juice. Thick, not really carbonated, loads of mango. Awesome.

Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the left. Really good hazy. Pretty creamy with a little citrus. Not too sweet despite how strong it is.

GOAL Metallic Blue Ones
New England IPA - 5.7% ABV
Pete
     This is halfway between a hazy and a pils. Super drinkable but also a good amount of citrus. Great beer.

GOAL Saison Spritz SP
Sour Saison - 5% ABV
Pete
​     A lot going on with this green beer. The flavor of the pandan is a bit strange, and it's got some coconut too. And funk. Somehow, it's good.

New England IPA - 6.7% ABV
Pete
     Pictured on the right. Great beer. Nice creamy hazy with some additional sweetness, but not too much. Certainly an interesting experience drinking a purple beer.
