La Jolla Girard Street House – Meda Clubhouse

May 25, 2010 by Albert 4 Comments

. The stories of the La Jolla Girard Street house are infamous, the true life “Animal House,” that put together true life outrageous parties. David Olson, formal owner of the the Red Mountain Inn, probably said it best, "I recall the first time I was invited to Macpherson’s Girard Street house, and it sort of like the Yankee’s calling you up from the minors, now you’re … [Read more...] about La Jolla Girard Street House – Meda Clubhouse

Silverback Ale – Mac Meda Postcards With Albert

May 3, 2010 by Albert 2 Comments

Back when Jack MacPherson was tending bar at the West End, some dorky beer salesperson stopped in promoting a new type of Ale. Normally these people would get their asses reamed and  run out.  As far as Jack was concern, there were only a handful of beers worth drinking. However, this one sparked his attention for the obvious. "Silverback Ale,” the salesperson pitched, … [Read more...] about Silverback Ale – Mac Meda Postcards With Albert

Brewery Collectibles Club of Mac Meda

October 1, 2009 by Albert 1 Comment

Dave Osborn comment on the Brown Derby post was correct. Jack Macpherson was one of the first people to start collecting beer cans. Frankly I believe he idolized his favorite organization, the Brewery Collectibles Club of America (BCCA). With the early 1935 introduction of the first U.S. beer can by the Krueger Brewing Co., that was generally available to the public, there … [Read more...] about Brewery Collectibles Club of Mac Meda

Mac Meda Poem by Jack MacPherson and Charlie Farley

September 3, 2009 by Albert 20 Comments

Now, ole Mac Meda was a powerful man, Who could smash down a house with the palm of his hand; He formed a company of destroying fools, Big Sledgehammers were his favorite tools. They started out breaking just a house here and there, Smash out the windows and let in some air; Knock out the walls and give a few heaves, And there would be nothing left beneath the … [Read more...] about Mac Meda Poem by Jack MacPherson and Charlie Farley

La Jolla Outrageous Parties, Drinking Beer and Wild Women

August 28, 2009 by Albert 11 Comments

Occasionally, when reading surfing publications, there is a reference to the ‘Mac Meda Destruction Company’ of La Jolla, California.  The writer often makes a reference to outrageous parties, drinking beer, wild women, tearing things up, surfing, and generally having a really bitchen time. The Mac Meda Destruction Company was started in the early 60’s by Jack Macpherson … [Read more...] about La Jolla Outrageous Parties, Drinking Beer and Wild Women

La Jolla Mailman – Jack MacPherson Postal Worker

August 24, 2009 by Albert 13 Comments

Born and raised in La Jolla and with a great personality, it seemed logical he would become a mailman.  Everyone on Jack's La Jolla mail route knew him. He used to love Christmas - his tips weren't a few bucks or coins, but  6-packs and/or cases of beer.  Many would asked him in for a beer or invite him to their Christmas parties. He was well-liked and knew everyone by … [Read more...] about La Jolla Mailman – Jack MacPherson Postal Worker
