Bottlecraft North Park

Beer Shop and Tasting Room. Craft Beer, spirits, natural wines, cider and more! The story of Bottlecraft North Park has a few chapters. Cheers to change!
(61)

We opened in February of 2013 as a to-go only beer shop with a huge selection of craft beer, wine and soda. Then in 2014 we partnered with Venissimo Cheese to carve out a portion of the shop dedicated to beer's best friend, cheese! The section offers hundreds of of cheeses as well as charcuterie, paninis, chocolates and other artisan goodies. Finally, in 2015 we got the go-ahead from the city to o

ffer pints and flights in a cozy tasting area within the shop. Swing by sometime and check out this funky little mash-up of a shop.

Just in from Brooklyn’s !

ESCAPE HATCH
“Hazy DIPA with Nelson, Citra, Nectaron, and Mosaic! It’s not a Grimm Anniversary weekend without a KILLER double NEIPA! The aroma is massive, showing a balance of citrus, ripe tropical fruit, and the indescribable New Zealand spice that we love. Ultra clean and saturated hop intensity on the palate: the sip starts with mango and lemon and evolves into a sticky and dank kaleidoscope of hop resin. We can’t wait to share this and all of the other exceptional Anniversary beers with you tomorrow.”

FALCON WING DOOR
“Introducing the newest beer in our Door series, FALCON WING DOOR! We’ve scaled back our beloved DIPA Lambo Door recipe to a chill 7% ABV and added FALCONER’S FLIGHT, a proprietary blend of PNW ‘C’ hops. Peach marmalade, pineapple sage, and honeydew melon give way to a slight piney bitterness juxtaposed with candied orange and juicy gummy bears!”

6TH ANNIVERSARY TIPA
“We pulled out all the stops for this year’s celebratory hop bomb. We selected six of our favorite hops and used them in great volume to create an absolute WALL of intense hop flavors and aromas: Citra, Nelson, Simcoe, Mosaic, Rakau, and Strata. This triple IPA oozes sticky and resinous notes of mango, orange, cannabis, and peach all over a creamy bed of subtle glazed donut sweetness. Yet it retains our signature elegance, drinking smooth and perfectly clean with no hop burn or grassiness. We are truly proud of this imperial IPA, the result of many lessons learned over a decade of hard-won experience refining and re-refining NEIPA, and six years of making them here in Brooklyn.”

The theme of this week’s GENE’S PICKS is 13th anniversary beers. What a year 2011 was in retrospect!

1) Beachwood - Hyperspeed
West Coast IPA, 7.1%

A baker’s dozen years of incredible hoppy beers from Beachwood! True to form, they have concocted a West Coast IPA to mark the occasion. Hyperspeed hits us with high-velocity Mosaic (in three different forms), Strata and the increasingly popular HBC-586. The familiar blueberry tones of Mosaic are joined by resinous oils of all stripes. Cheers to Beachwood for thirteen years of unparalleled excellence in brewing!

2) Seek - Cou Cou
Alsatian Pilsner, 4.3%

Back in April at the San Diego Beer News Awards, I had the distinct honor to bestow the medal for Best Pilsner upon Dave Ohmer of Seek Beer Company for his delicious Northern German pilsner Fortune. It soon became self-evident that we ought to ask whether he and his team would be willing to brew our anniversary beer for the occasion - and couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome. Cou Cou (informal French for “Hello!”, typically among close friends or family) is a pilsner in the style of the beers of the Alsace. These light-bodied straw-colored lagers often have a floral bouquet from the Strißelspalt hops grown in the region alongside the justifiably celebrated white wines. Seek sourced some of these selfsame hops as well as pilsner malt from France, making it an unusually terroir-driven beer - and just in time for the opening Paris Olympics on the 26th of this month. À votre santé!

[Begging your forgiveness for this repeat pick - it fits all too perfectly with the theme!]

3) Enegren - 13th Anniversary
Polotmavé, 4.8%

Let’s break down the etymology of the style of this Czech-style amber lager, shall we? The word “tmavé” translates as “dark” - indeed, many beers in Bohemia and Moravia are simply dubbed as such - while “polo” simply means “half”. It thus follows that a lager of this hue and character would be “half-dark”! Caramel sweetbread entices on the nose, with a delightfully clean dry lager finish. Na zdraví!

Cheers!

07/26/2024

It’s hot! Pick up some NEW white wines to cool off with!

07/25/2024

JUST IN: Double Dry Hop King Sue - Double India pale ale, 7.8% ABV
🦖 🍻 🦖

07/24/2024

10 Years of Fundamental Observation! 🤩 We just received bottles of ‘s TENTH vintage of FO, plus the delicious coconut and coffee version, “Fococomo”! Scoop some up today!

FUNDAMENTAL OBSERVATION (2024)
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Madagascar Vanilla Imperial Stout, 14% ABV

— “Celebrating its tenth vintage in 2024, Fundamental Observation stands as the electric current cornerstone of our brewery. This “liquid brownie batter” was aged exclusively in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels and finished out at a mighty 14% ABV. Each barrel of this milestone vintage saw multiple additions of Madagascar vanilla, ultimately aging with two full pounds of vanilla beans over the course of a year. Familiar flavors of bourbon-soaked cookie dough, coveted corner pieces of brownie, and decadent caramel meld together with beautiful barrel tones and a present-but-pleasant alcohol heat.”

FOCOCOMO (2024)
Bourbon Barrel Aged Madagascar Vanilla Imperial Stout finished with Toasted Coconut and Mostra Coffee, 14% ABV

— “Key Largo, Montego, baby why don’t we go?” FOCOCOMO combines FOCOCO and FOMO, two of our legendary Fundamental Observation variants, in a perfect ratio by layering hundreds of pounds of house-toasted coconut with Philippine Heritage Microlot coffee on the FO base for silky, tropical sweetness and dark-roasted waves of nuts, chocolate, and baking spices.“

07/23/2024

Wine from Transylvania! 🇷🇴 Edgar Brutler ( ) is putting the infamous Romanian region of Transylvania on the map for natural wine lovers. His wines use organically farmed native varieties and natural winemaking practices to offer fresh and dynamic white, red and orange wines.

🐈 Sefu White - picked from left to right regardless of grape. Nothing is blended, it’s a full co-fermented field blend of Chardonnay, Riesling, Furmint, and Tămâioasă Românească.

🐕 Sefu Red - a blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah. Bramble fruit and earthiness while still maintaining a light body for chilling.

Grab a bottle of Brutler this week and discover Transylvania in a whole new light!

07/20/2024

Swing by for today’s SATURDAY WINE FLIGHT featuring four natural wines from the former “Habsburg” region of Austria, Slovenia, Romania and Hungary. Flights are $15 and available from 12-4pm. Here’s what’s pouring:

1) Meinklang 2022 Prosa: Sparkling rosé of Pinot Noir from an all-organic operation in eastern Austria. Strawberry hibiscus nose and zippy frizzante bubbles, with a rosewater aspect. Low-ABV makes for a great afternoon wine! 10.5%

2) Črnko 2022 Jareninčan: Slovenian field blend of Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc & Müller-Thurgau. Gentle and approachable with pleasant minerality; notes of pears, honeysuckle and green apple. 11%

3) Pfneiszl 2021 Skin Contact Zefir: Floral orange wine from western Hungary, by the same sisters who vinify on the Austrian side of the border under the Pfneisl family name. This is the only single-varietal expression of the exceedingly rare Zefir grape that is exported!

4) Weingut Edgar Brutler 2022 Șefu Red: Blend of Pinot Noir & Syrah by a leading light of natural wine in Romania. Bramble fruit and earthiness while still maintaining a light body for chilling.

It’s looking to be a hot weekend! 🥵 Cool off with Gene’s “Picks of the Week”! 🍻😎

Also, today we have here from 4-6pm pouring FREE wine samples! Stop by and stock up! 🍷

GENE’S PICKS OF THE WEEK | July 19th, 2024
1) Almanac - Love
Hazy IPA, 6.1%

“Love is a universal constant, and also a year-round hazy IPA with a rotating hop-bill from in the Bay Area. Around this time of the year, the version released is bedecked in rainbow colors and brewed in support of the Oakland LBGTQ Community Center in that selfsame city’s Lake Merritt district. This year’s Pride edition of Love is dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic & Sabro. Love is love - happy Pride to all!”

2) Burgeon / McIlhenny - Chilly Bin
Hoppy Pilsner, 5.1%

“When the brewers at concocted this collaborative pilsner with McIlhenny Brewing out of Alpine last November, little did they realize what a sensation it would prove to be. Cans sold out in six hours and a second batch was hurriedly prepared for release a month hence. To cap things off, the beer took home a pair of prizes at the San Diego Beer News Awards earlier this year, in the Can Design and Collab Beer categories! Hopped with a binload of New Zealand varietals, this triumphant third appearance will surely not be the last.”

3) Prairie - Spicy Pickle Monster
Sour Ale, 5.5%

“If you have a favorite flavor combination - whether fruits, vegetables or dessert - there is a good chance that has made a sour beer out of it. Core offering Rainbow Sherbet smells so precisely like its namesake that it could be mistaken blind for the real McCoy. Similarly, the autumnal release Pumpkin Pie Treat hits all the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and toasted marshmallow notes one might expect from the baked good. And so it is as well with the bizarrely inventive Spicy Pickle Monster: a salty dill tart ale, which tastes even better with a splash of gin.”

07/18/2024

New just landed! Come stock up for the coming weekend!!! 🤙 🍻

DOUBLE CITRA, BABY!
8.2% Hazy Double IPA brewed with 100% Citra hops- the double version of Citra, Baby!

COLD PRESSED
6.5% balanced, approachable and uber-tropical Hazy IPA.

HOWZIT PUNCH
5.5% Passion fruit, orange & guava sour ale.

MAI TAI P.A.
6.5% Tropical IPA and flagship West Coast IPA.

07/12/2024

Gene’s picks for this lovely Summer weekend!

1) El Segundo / Fremont - Peculiar Habits
West Coast IPA, 6.2%

Two heavyweights of the West Coast team up once again for a lovely West Coast IPA. The hops of New Zealand show no sign of fatigue - drinkers just cannot get enough of them. Peculiar Habits features a gorgeously rendered illustration of the Hooded Oriole (and even throws in the Linnaean name, Icterus Cucullatus) for all you members of the Audubon Society out there. This IPA is entirely hopped with Antipodean varietals, namely Motueka, Nelson and Riwaka, replete with aromas of peach rings, limeade and a gentle grassiness.

2) Everywhere - Beautiful Something
Helles Lager, 4.8%

Sometimes an uncomplicated beer is all that is called for. The recurring release Beautiful Something from our friends at Everywhere up in Orange is just the ticket! A soft and welcoming pale lager, brewed with Pilsner malt and Hallertau Mittelfrüh - who could ask for anything more? This is a beer whose name really does say it all.

3) Off Color - Yuzu Fierce
Yuzu Berliner Weisse, 3.8%

Chicago’s extraordinary craft beer scene is sprawling, mercurial and welcoming enough to handle a healthy eccentricity. Having left Goose Island after their acquisition by AB InBev, John Laffler opened Off Color in 2013 and began brewing one of the wildest array of creations seen yet in that city. With whimsical pen-ink artwork and cheerful insouciance (sample text from list of ingredients: “HOPS: A little”), Off Color specializes in farmhouse ales and low-ABV sour beers. Yuzu Fierce is an example of the latter, a riff on “Fierce”, their fantastic recipe for a traditional Berliner Weisse. The base edition already exhibits lemony lactic acid notes from the kettle-souring process, but this iteration turns the dial up on those characteristics with an infusion of yuzu fruit. Truly a tart lemonade for adults!

Cheers!

07/11/2024

New !!!

CITRA CUTTING TILES | Double IPA
🍯 “Cutting Tiles is an exploratory series of Double IPAs featuring a range of aromatic single hop varietals brewed with raw local wildflower honey. This new version is dosed with 100% Citra in all kettle, whirlpool and a massive dry hop addition. The honey keeps the body light and drinkable but provides an earthy backbone. Floral and zesty up front backed up with a nuanced citrus character on the nose that continues straight through in the flavor profile. Pillowy soft mouthfeel, with a restrained bitterness on the finish.”

CONGRESS STREET | Hazy IPA
🍺“Our flagship American IPA highlights the distinctively aromatic Australian Galaxy hop. The nose bursts with pine, citrus rind, melon and pineapple. Pronounced flavors of peach, clementine, and tropical fruits are accentuated with moderate bitterness and balanced by a light, biscuity malt character.”

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! 🇺🇸 We’re open til 6pm today! Stop by and load up the cooler with beer, wine, hard seltzers, canned cocktails and more!
🍻 Enjoy a pour of wine or beer while you’re here!

🧀 FYI: Venissimo is closed today! 😢

07/03/2024

GENE’S PICKS! This week, Gene’s highlighting three beers perfect for enjoying over the 4th of July weekend! 🇺🇸 Check them out!

1) Pure Project - United
Hazy IPA, 6.9%

The color combination of red, white and blue clearly has struck a chord among designers of national signifiers, for it appears on the flags of (among others) Chile, Czechia, France, Iceland, the Netherlands, Thailand and of course the United States. Bold vertical swathes thereof adorn this annual release from Pure Project, featuring Citra and Mosaic hops and an earnest appeal to unity.

2) Prairie - ‘Merica Y’all
Hazy IPA, 6.0%

The Oklahomans are at it again! Our favorite oddballs from Krebs have come up with an IPA whose label is festooned with as much irreverent Americana as can be crammed onto one 12-ounce can. This is one of those beers whose title demands to be read out loud, as phonetically as possible. Amusingly, the hops utilized are Nelson Sauvin, famously hailing from the south island of New Zealand - all the more delightfully incongruous. Enjoy outdoors, ideally in bare feet or flip-flops on the grass.

3) Enegren - Liberty Pils
German Pilsner, 4.8%

Readers of this column will know that I am an unapologetic fan of Enegren’s single-hop pilsner series - and few varietals are as storied and nowadays obscure as Liberty. Exploding onto the scene in 1976 (!) with its inclusion in the eponymous Liberty Ale by Anchor upon the occasion of the bicentennial of this country, the newfangled hop widened eyes with what was contemporaneously perceived as bracing bitterness. Maintaining the 4th of July leitmotif, Enegren’s can-art is rendered in that familiar tricolore palette, with fireworks to boot. Cheers to a Thursday holiday!

We are excited to welcome Alec, the newest member of the Bottlecraft team! Get to know Alec a little better with a few fun facts about him:

HOMETOWN:
“Phoenix, AZ ... More specifically Sunny Slope”

FAVORITE BREWERY:
“Ska, their True Blonde was the first beer I ever enjoyed. Wouldn’t be in this industry without them. Nowadays? Likely pFriem or Maine or Wayfinder. Too tough a question!”

FAVORITE BEER STYLE:
“Clear beer all the way. Tradition American West Coast IPAs to lagers with really fun malt profiles.”

INTERESTING FACT:
“If there’s a song playing, I can guarantee you that no matter how invested in any given conversation or task I’m involved in, some compartment of my brain is changing the lyrics to make it funnier. This is an unstoppable habit.”

HOBBIES:
“I’d like to say it is something much cooler than it is...but I’m I love video games. Recently finished every Dark Souls game including the DLC. After a bit of a hiatus, I’m also getting back into running and reading! Also, cooking and golf!”

Swing by and say hello! 🍻

06/28/2024

GENE’S PICKS! Every week, Gene handpicks three new beers for you to explore. Check out this week’s selections and discover a new favorite.

1) Burgeon - DDH Treevana
West Coast IPA, 7.2%

The flagship West Coast IPA Treevana by has become a beloved staple around greater San Diego area, dependable and delicious. If that ineffable combination of Amarillo and Mosaic appeals to you, then why not the same but more so? A special double dry-hopped edition has joined us for the first days of summer, intensifying the aromatic character of the beer. Enjoy now, at the peak of freshness!

2) Gold Dot - Pils de Pils
German Pilsner, 5.1%

The Prost! Bitburger Challenge, a friendly competition that has taken place just twice (in 2019 and again earlier this month), invites a dozen breweries to proffer an original German Pilsner recipe for consideration. Both the lucky attendees of the concomitant lager-fest that sprang up in Portland a few weeks ago as well as the judges on hand tasted all twelve submissions blind, with no foreknowledge as to which contender brewed which beer. Beyond bragging rights or modest acceptance, the winner receives a trip to Bitburg (the eponymous wellspring of Bitburger beer), located near the border with Luxembourg. By now, readers may have guessed that Pils de Pils by took home the grand prize - and they would be right! Congratulations to Lisa and Kevin - we wish them a wonderful time in Germany. Prost!

3) Cervejaria Japas - Sawā Plum
Fruited Sour, 4.7%

It may or may not come as a surprise to learn that the single largest Japanese diaspora is located neither in Los Angeles nor London, but rather São Paolo. Brazil as a whole easily hosts the greatest number of Nikkei (persons of Japanese heritage living outside of the Home Islands) of any country on earth. Three women from this sprawling, multifaceted community have formed a brewery emphasizing both their Brazilian identity as well as their ancestral roots. Their Sawā series rotates various tree-fruits through a tart ale base, with gorgeous artistic impressions of each one imprinted on the label - this iteration showcases plums. Saúde / Kanpai!

06/26/2024

JUST IN: “10,000 Hours” German Pils!
— “Brewed for Bitburger Challenge where we go up against some stupidly big names in a blind Pilsner competition. 10,000 hours refers to Malcolm Gladwell and his quote that basically says you can’t be good at anything until you spend 10,000 hours practicing it, which is roughly 4 hours per day for 10 years. We’ve been doing this for 10 years now and this beer represents all that we’ve learned in those 10 years.”

06/21/2024

Another Friday and another round of “Gene’s Picks” as you head into the weekend!

Beachwood - Party Crusher
West Coast IPA, 7.1%

One of the few rules of thumb around here: if has a new West Coast IPA, drink at least one can. This one is a collab, albeit (rather unusually) not with a fellow brewery but rather a skate & fashion brand from New Zealand under the name A Lost Cause. A hops medley of Citra, Idaho 7, Mosaic and Strata make for a cause that is far from lost!

Seek - Cou Cou
Alsatian Pilsner, 4.3%

Where does the time go? Bottlecraft is 13 years old this month! Back in April at the San Diego Beer News Awards, I had the distinct honor to bestow the medal for Best Pilsner upon Dave Ohmer of for his delicious Northern German pilsner Fortune. It soon became self-evident that we ought to ask whether he and his team would be willing to brew our anniversary beer for the occasion - and couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome. Cou Cou (informal French for “Hello!”, typically among close friends or family) is a pilsner in the style of the beers of the Alsace. These light-bodied straw-colored lagers often have a floral bouquet from the Strißelspalt hops grown in the region alongside the justifiably celebrated white wines. Seek sourced some of these selfsame hops as well as pilsner malt from France, making it an unusually terroir-driven beer - and just in time for the Olympics in Paris this summer as well. À votre santé!

3) Firestone Walker / Highland Park - No Ends, Only Beginnings
Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, 12%

Firestone Walker has been masterfully aging up malt-driven beers for a great number of years now, long enough to trust them implicitly. This exciting first vintage of No Ends, Only Beginnings is a collab with our friends at Highland Park Brewing in Los Angeles, and is everything one could wish for in a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. Only a few cases made their way to San Diego, so even if the weather does not seem appropriate currently, grab a bottle and stash it for later in the year!

06/20/2024

NEW RUM! 🍹 Chairman’s Reserve Original: a terrific expression of Saint Lucian rum - a blend of both pot and column still.

Treacle, vanillins and raisins on the nose, medium-bodied, with a drying to***co leaf / spice-box finish.

06/16/2024

06/15/2024

Check out Gene’s Picks of the Week! 👀

Madwest / Pure Project - Short-Lived
Hazy IPA, 7.0%

Madewest Brewing out of Ventura entertains a recurring one-off series of IPAs under the moniker “Short-Lived”, always in conjunction with a collaborative brewery. The recipes and labels may change, but the result is always worth a pint. The latest iteration is with our friends at local haze masters Pure Project, hopped with Citra and HBC 638. The latter is a newfangled experimental varietal that has drawn comparisons with Centennial, albeit with a brighter tropical fruit tone as well. The can-art displays a surreal chimera of a shark and a sheep - or is it a shark wearing sheep’s clothing?

Enegren – High Street
Vienna Lager, 5.4%

Vienna Lagers are closely related to Märzens, but whereas the Bavarians lean more on nutty Munich malt, the Austrians prefer a more caramel-forward Vienna malt. Both are ruddy red-brown beers with low ABV capped off by gentle lager finishes. While the Märzen has become well-known among beer aficionados, the Vienna Lager has languished in relative obscurity – for most domestic consumers, the first (or only) example they may have tasted is Sam Adams Boston Lager (possibly soon to be under the ownership of Suntory? Stay tuned!). For one more true to style, take an amble down the High Street with our good friends at Enegren.

Alvarado Street - Paloma Pizzazz
Imperial Kettle Sour, 8.0%

I have nothing against margaritas, but am more apt to mix up a paloma at home. Particularly in the summertime, the combination of agave, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice and lime is just the ticket. My personal recipe also adds a glug of Campari and a pinch of salt, which lowers the perceived bitterness of the citrus. The folks at Alvarado Street are clearly also devotees of the paloma, for they have attempted to backwards-engineer one in beer form! Dangerously drinkable at 8%, enjoy this one outside, in the sunshine.

Entitled "Braupakt", it is a dry-hopped Hefeweizen, which arguably plays to each of their respective strengths. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Braupakt is deliciously drinkable, showcasing both Weihenstephan’s brewing prowess through their signature yeast and Sierra Nevada’s proclivity for big hop flavor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Using Weihenstephan’s signature Hefeweissbier yeast, Braupakt, starts with the familiar, large banana/Isoamyl Acetate note giving the beer a nice bubblegum-like flavor. As the beer warms it begins to open up and the bubblegum gives-way to grapefruit, citrus, and dried apricot notes from the Amarillo hops. A bit more full and bready malt flavor rounds out this 6% ABV Hefeweizen." The second collab between these two breweries will be for Oktoberfest.

MAY THE FOURTH be with you! Tupaca & Han don't just cruise the galaxy, they drink them in the form of Galaxy hopped Pale Ales too. 🌌🦁✨ "Beachwood Alpha Galactic is a west coast-style pale ale with a blast of intergalactic flavors and aromas. A base of pilsner malt lays down a delicate foundation for the Australian Galaxy and American Warrior, Amarillo, & Simcoe varieties. Dry hopping with Galaxy creates bright aromas of passion fruit, pineapple, and dank resin. IBUs 69,5.5% ABV."
