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

Brown Derby Cheap Beer and WindanSea Sunset

September 25, 2009 by Albert 16 Comments

Artist and Red Mountain Inn owner, Dave Osborn relaxes surrounded by cases of Brown Derby beer. Now I bet he wishes he kept some of the cans and/or bottles. Brown Derby?  What the hell is that? For those kids who have stumbled upon this website, Mac Meda (obviously experts on beer consumption), Brown Derby was a store brand, something that was more common after … [Read more...] about Brown Derby Cheap Beer and WindanSea Sunset

Conventions – Keg Party – Drunken Beer Orgies and Wild Women

September 10, 2009 by Albert 8 Comments

A Los Angeles Times reporter once wrote, “ ... drunken beer orgies and wild women” when referring to a Mac Meda Convention. No doubt, Mac Meda perfected the keg party, if not invented it.  And the greatest technical advancement to the keg party was the invention of the plastic trash can. Lightweight, somewhat strong, could hold a keg perfect and most important; it provided … [Read more...] about Conventions – Keg Party – Drunken Beer Orgies and Wild Women

La Jolla’s Bird Rock Sip n Surf or Hungry Horse Bar

September 9, 2009 by Albert 32 Comments

When Maynard Heatherly was asked, "What he thought of the Sip n Surf?" all he could do was shake his head. Fact remains, he hated the joint, even though he was friends with the owner, Burt Alderson. "Its not the competition," he said, God knows he already had a ton of customers, he hated the place adding, "If you can't find a place at the bar, or even be able to rest your … [Read more...] about La Jolla’s Bird Rock Sip n Surf or Hungry Horse Bar

Butch Van Artsdalen – Legendary Surfer – WindanSea Lot

August 31, 2009 by Albert 43 Comments

Recently I attended a memorial service for Harry Phillips, the former owner of Flowers by Adelaide in La Jolla.  I was having a conversation with some of the former delivery boys who worked for Harry over the years.  Randy Miller, Harry's nephew, told a Windansea Tale. Legendary surfer Butch Van Artsdalen was holding court at the Windansea lot and Randy was with Charlie … [Read more...] about Butch Van Artsdalen – Legendary Surfer – WindanSea Lot

Jack and his Burgie Beer – 44 mag

August 21, 2009 by Albert 2 Comments

Here is the photo of Jack in Borrego at sunrise (yes my friends that is sunrise, not sunset), explaining to Brian Munoz why he drank Burgie beer. Jack explained, "So he didn't have to worry about anyone taking or asking for any of his beer" As far as the the reason for the 44 mag suicide look, Brian said, "We had spent the day before getting shit-faced, it ended up with … [Read more...] about Jack and his Burgie Beer – 44 mag

LA JOLLA BEACHES BEING ABUSED BY COMMERCIAL VENDORS
Some bad things are happening to our La Jolla beaches and that is, vendors are blocking off areas for private parties and making large profits off public beaches. Now as the law reads, these vendors can get a permit to have a private party and that permit is ONLY for 50 people, BUT, they CAN NOT ASK or MAKE you leave (even if they show you your permit)  if you are sitting in a spot they want to have their party at ...
