Despite the name change, it still features a chic and cool spot to hang out while enjoying your food. It is exactly on the Western Metal Supply Co. Building, 2nd level, and close to section 266. 

The restaurant menu includes sausages, hotdogs, and nachos and comes with a full bar, with their Budweiser-sponsored beer. Guests and locals love The Loft because it offers a great location to watch baseball games and events while getting away from the crowds.

Board & Brew

There are lower levels and upper levels when it comes to seating. If you want a larger bar area, you can opt for the lower level (109), where you can eat your food. Some of their best-selling specialties are turkado, vegi supreme, Baja chicken, grilled cheese, and San Diegan. Most people love their recipes because it’s made from scratch with real and fresh ingredients.

Alpine Beer Company

Customers love its rooftop bar with stunning scenery of San Diego Bay and the cool Coronado Bridge. It is perfect for guests who love to watch baseball games or enjoy panoramic outdoor views while indulging in Alpine’s beer. They have various beer variations to choose from.

Some of their best recipes are fried calamari, seaweed salad, and shrimp appetizer. They also have soups from scratch, like the New England clam chowder and hearty seafood soup.

Blue Water always ensures they buy fresh fish from local fishermen or they do it themselves. You can ask the guy on the counter if you don’t know what to taste first. He’ll serve you their best sellers.

Kona Big Wave Patio

Formerly known as “The Bud Patio,” Kona Big Wave Patio is a newly-found home for beers and island-inspired cuisines. It is located in Section 227, the second level of the ballpark. Guests love its multiple levels featuring drink rails and elegant high-top chairs. 

One of the patio’s proudest menus includes the Hawaiian beef bowl, furikake, pickled daikon and carrot, and Big Wave sauce. Know Big Wave is also one of the most affordable food lounges at the park with its famous Southern California Brandt Beef partnership.

11 U.S. Cities Perfect for a Weekend Getaway

The Way to spend time: Cover as much as you can of the 1,200-acre Balboa Park, spend a day on Coronado Island, and finish each night with a sunset at Sunset Cliffs. Eat your fill of California burritos in Nico's Mexican Food, and drink your plenty of beer from breweries including Ballast Point, Mike Hess, Stone Brewing, and AleSmith. Proceed south of the border, too, with Turista Libre, which takes travelers to hyper-local areas in Tijuana and Valle de Guadalupe.

Denver, Colorado

The Way to spend your time: After checking into the Art Hotel, spend a day at the seven-story Denver Art Museum with Monet's Le Bassin des Nympheas and Paul Klee's Palace Partially Destroyed, followed by a meal at Avelina. On day two, take advantage of this recently revived Winter Park Express Ski Train, which goes from downtown Denver to Front Range's Winter Park Resort in two hours. Come warmer weather, head 16 kilometers west of downtown Denver to the almost 900-acre Red Rocks Park, that has miles of hiking trails, sandstone cliffs, and also a geologically shaped amphitheater that's hosted everyone from The Beatles to Stevie Nicks.

New Orleans, Louisiana

The Way to spend your time: Eat Shaya and Brennan's, each of which left our best restaurants in the entire word list, along with the latter of which has been firmly entrenched in the French Quarter as 1942. Crush a bag of beignets at Morning Call, which has considerably shorter lines compared to Cafe Du Monde--and pristine City Park views. When the sun sets, go beyond Bourbon Street, also do not miss music-driven evenings on Frenchmen Street, which has the Big Easy's most celebrated jazz.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

How to spend your time day in Fishtown, namely to wait in line for Pizzeria Beddia and crawl out of microbrewery into a microbrewery. A day of walking: Wander along North 3rd Street (duck into Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction) and East Passyunk (play a 60-minute' Escape the 80s' match ) before dinner in Michael Solomonov's Dizengoff or Zahav, where you'll dip into some of the best hummus in the nation. Finish at Hop Sing Laundromat, a somewhat-hidden cocktail bar and a rite of passage.

Baltimore, Maryland

The Way to spend your time: Eat your Way out of a new restaurant to the next before (shh) everybody puts in on the key: think Argentinean empanadas at Bar Vasquez; seafood risotto in Cosima; tea-smoked duck breast in Gunther & Co., and barbecue-flavored ice cream out of meals hallway R. House. Stroll off the moments across the historic Inner Harbor, and hop in an hour-long tour, by boat, of what has been deemed among the most underrated cities in the U.S. Catch a show at the gorgeous, refurbished Hippodrome Theatre. Allot three hours to the Baltimore Museum of Art, and get lost in Lexington Market, that will be like the Pike Place Market of Baltimore--if Pike Place was open since 1782, that's.

Portland, Maine

The Way to invest your time: Take the ferry to Peaks Island. Eat your weight in lobster rolls at Portland Lobster Company, and make sure to also hit Central Provisions, The Honey Paw, and Eventide Oyster Co., the"oyster bar of your dreams." (More than a dozen local craft breweries including Allagash and Rising Tide supply the drink; if you're sick of beer, attempt Portland Hunt & Alpine Club.) Walk panoramic Fore Street. Hop on a bicycle for a 6.5-mile flat loop of Portland, which sits on a peninsula, or spend a day" hiking" 70 miles of the increased city through Portland Trails. Push into Portland Head Light, a still-operational light station that has occupied its place five kilometers south of town because of 1791.

Nashville, Tennessee

How to spend your time: Start the day with a cup of house-roasted coffee at Crema. Shop 12 South for a souvenir: a customized pair of jeans from Imogene + willie, maybe, or handcrafted objects from White's Mercantile, a modern twist in an old-time general store curated by Hank Williams's granddaughter Holly. Eat sexy chicken from Hattie B. Honkytonk on Second Avenue at Robert's Western World, or Remain in the Gulch for bluegrass at The Station Inn. Spend two hours in the Frist Museum for Visual Arts, which was Nashville's central post office.

Charleston, S.C.

How to spend your own time: Take a walking tour of 18th-century architecture, and pick your preferred Georgian mansion from Rainbow Row or The Battery. Read a book under the 1,000-year-old, 1,700-square-foot Angel Oak Tree, and nap on the beach of Sullivan's Island. Make a booking at Husk. Possessing a fried chicken sandwich (or 3 ) in Leon's Oyster Shop--it's been known to make even the most severe vegetarian drop off the wagon, and no doubt contributed to Charleston being voted the most magnificent little city in the U.S. To burn those calories, walk into the middle of the Ravenel Bridge (1.25 miles) for sunset over the Cooper River--or say, hey, I'm on vacation, and have a cocktail on the roof of this Dewberry instead. Once the evening has entirely fallen, head within the centuries-old Dock Street Theatre for local and Broadway touring productions.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Way to spend your own time: Create artsy Lyndale, one of Airbnb's hottest areas of 2017, your foundation. Pay homage to hometown hero Prince in Paisley Park Museum one afternoon, or browse where the musician himself often shopped for music at indie store Electric Fetus. Lake hop: Lake Harriet, Lake CalhounLake, and Lake of the Isles are connected. Beer from Surly Brewing Company, dessert from Milkjam Creamery, and James-Beard award-winning Minnesotan cuisine in The Bachelor Farmer. Spend a couple of hours at the Walker Art Center, one of the nation's most excellent contemporary art museums. The American Swedish Institute is much more fun than it seems; and the Jucy Lucy from Matt's Bar--a beef patty with a core of molten cheese--is much better than it looks, intentional misspellings apart from

Madison, Wisconsin

The Way to spend your time: Bike 12 miles around Lake Monona. Make such as a Badger and wander some of those 20-plus miles of paths at the UW Arboretum (or, in winter, ski, snowshoe, or increase them), until filling up on fried cheese curds and Ale Asylum in Dotty Dumpling's Dowry. Take a 40-minute road trip to visit the New Glarus Brewing Company, which only awakens in Wisconsin. Take a 50-minute street trip to the shore and Ice-Age rock formations of the Driftless region. Get your art fix at the Chazen Museum of Art and the stunning, glass-walled Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Shop in the Saturday morning farmers' market on Capitol Square, reportedly the largest producer-only farmers' market in the nation. Eat dinner at Estrellón, and spare room for the Basque cake.

Louisville, Kentucky

How to spend time a sexy brown in The Brown Hotel. Walk the Old Louisville neighborhood, which allegedly has the most extensive collection of Victorian homes in the country. Pay tribute to The Louisville Lip in the Muhammad Ali Center. Take a trip to Maker's Mark and dip your bottle of Kentucky bourbon. Pop from the Speed Art Museum, fresh off a $50 million renovation and expansion. Do not miss a performance from the LGBT theater troupe Pandora Productions.

I did a thing ... a brunch thing ... and I’m going to tell you what ... It. Will. Blow. Your. Mind. The majestic Hotel Del Coronado’s Crown Room is the setting for the most amazing brunch I’ve ever seen, and now I know why this brunch has become legendary! For a special #sdbeerweek treat, I went to experience a brewery brunch collaboration last Sunday. The guest brewery was @stonebrewing and they offered several of my Stone favorites. Buenaveza salt and lime Lager, Tropic Thunder Lager, Stone IPA and Stone Delicious IPA. Here are the upcoming breweries, so you’ll definitely want to snag a reservation for one of these dates! ____________________________________ * Sunday, Nov. 10 - Coronado Brewing Co. * Sunday, Nov. 17 - AleSmith Brewing Co.  ____________________________________ SWIPE to view just some of the food stations 👉🏼 It is completely overwhelming, and impossible to taste everything, but I loved trying! Everything was delicious, and ending up going with a few gorgeous salads, gourmet cheeses, but ultimately went with the very fun and interactive Ramen station, pot stickers and dim Sum! Obviously had to have a smidge of the Cream Brûlée, tiramisu, AND peach cobbler! Did I mention, endless #mimosas and #bloodymarys ??!! ____________________________________ So with @coronadobrewing scheduled for this Sunday, I strongly suggest getting your reservations now for BRUNCH!

Blog 5: October 29, 2021

     The past two weeks have been completely focused on finalizing my logo designs. The top image is from last week’s individual critique. It was definitely better than my original design, but it still failed to look like a kraken tentacle. Professor Chi said it looked like a snake, which is an improvement from an animal tail, but still not the goal. 

     The bottom image is the finalized logo I submitted (one of them). As you can tell, I made drastic changes but I think I finally made it look like a robot kraken! I changed my colors, shape, bolt concept, etc. The font style changed slightly as well. Every suggestion I received from classmates and Professor Chi, I made them. I remade the shape of the tentacle over 8 times and I am mostly happy with how it turned out in the end.

     Concept Statement: “My two words were ‘robot Kraken/jellyfish’, and I decided to create a Kraken because I thought it would be more challenging. There are not two concepts more different than robotics and aquatic creatures, so I really struggled with what to do at first. I ultimately decided to make this logo for a brewing company because those typically have more masculine energy and ocean/water/sea creatures are common themes in beers and brewing companies (Deep Brewing Co., Coronado Brewing Co., Captain Pabst, etc.). In all of the brewing companies just listed and many mainstream beer companies as well, blue is the main color. The font I used was Avante Garde Bold and I think it is visually interesting. I like how it is a sans serif font and rounded, making it curved, like my logo, but also simpler. Additionally, the description said it has been used for bold companies such as Adidas and since my logo is going to be for a brewing company, I believe it is a good fit. Lastly, I used the gestalt principles of continuity, similarity, and closure for my designs.  For my first design, the bolt shape continues up the tentacle and repeats the same shape. This leads the eye up the tentacle. Additionally, because the shape is the exact same, it fits both the continuity and similarity principles. The negative spaces in-between the tentacles of my second design break it up and allow the eye to close the space. The white space between the bolt and the legs and within the legs themselves fit the closure element.”

RFP Podcast Episode #205 – Ultra Dad’s Session #16 – “Finding the Rainbows” - Year In Review

 We took a week off for the Christmas Holiday (you are welcome by the way 😊) but are back at it for a year in reflection.  2020 was unique to say the least but there are many “rainbows” that we were able to find.  Our hope is that as we all look back on this past year, we can find some silver lining, some moment or some piece of happiness, hope, love, joy, and progress. We have all found ways to be more creative, to pivot, to adjust, and adapt to a wild & wacky year.  We believe that in some way, we found a way to make at least, one great choice this year.  

 Thanks to Timber and Bear for their contributions to this week’s episode and for Tanner’s modeling shot – Find Your Rainbow.

 BTW – Keep an eye out for Bryan’s first pass at his modeling career.  Pictures soon to be posted 😊.  

 We want to thank you all for tuning this year, keeping us company, and for all the love & support.  We are excited to see where 2021 takes us and at the very least, Bryan and I will continue to share our stories, give up some laughs, and have a few beers.  

 Happy New Year all – Much Love!!! – Bryan & Mike

 It was an earlier than usual session today, so Bryan had a bit of joe with some PBR Hard Coffee.  Mike just went for some of the good stuff – Coronado Brewing Co’s Weekend Vibes IPA.    

 The RFP Ultra Dad’s Podcast is sponsored by Time on the Trails – delivering you a customized experience out on the trails in Arizona and beyond.  Please visit us at www.tottaz.com.  

 Keep an eye open for the new Ultra Dad’s Instagram account coming soon #ultra_dads.

 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/relentless-forward-progress-with-mike-ubaldini/id1305969863#episodeGuid=c3b3878b-7999-44e4-96fe-d489c5d5cfa7

 Listen to the most recent episode of my podcast: RFP Podcast Episode #205 – Ultra Dad’s Session #16 – “Finding the Rainbows” – Year in Review

 How’d we get here?

 The Ultra Dad’s Podcast came from an idea Cindy Shane created.  Well, she planted the idea in our head after listening to the first time Bryan was on the RFP Podcast in May 2020.  There have many times over the years when we speak on the phone or in person the “we should be recording this” line comes out.  Well, here we are jumping in with both feet, like we tend to do, sharing with you our perspectives on life.  Let’s be candid – we are not perfect, and we fail often. Our favorite term to use is “it’s not ideal” and there have been countless times we’ve uttered, “a plan is great until you are punched in the face;” – but we do laugh a lot, at ourselves and/or each other mostly 😊.  All that said, there are those brief moments where things tend to fall into place and we, somehow, make it to that finish line – as ultrarunners yes, but most importantly has husbands, fathers, friends, and human beings.  We wanted to share those imperfections and those incredible moments that we’ve been fortunate enough to experience together over the last 30+ years.  So, sit back, grab a cold one, and hopefully this will be another time where things fall into place.

 -          Bryan & Mike

9 Things You Should Know About Ballast Point

Ballast Point Brewing’s calling card for the last 15 years has been its Sculpin IPA (label pictured here  — and no word on whether the beer has made the sculpin fish more or less popular). Naturally, there’s a lot more to know about this spiky-fish-themed beer brand, and the pioneering brewery behind it.

For instance, it’s one of the forefathers of the California craft beer scene; it’s the first-ever brewery to open in one of the world’s largest theme parks; and it went from being owned by one of the biggest alcohol companies on the planet to a company no one had ever heard of. It’s even got a distillery step-cousin (brother? uncle?) that’s currently producing some of our favorite cocktails in cans (yes).

Here are nine more things to know about Ballast Point.

It started as a homebrew shop.

Imagine wanting to bake a strawberry shortcake but you can only shop at 7-11. That’s what amateur avid brewer Jack White was dealing with in San Diego in the late 1980s and early 1990s, except he was trying to brew good beer and there just weren’t places to buy decent homebrew supplies.

His solution: Build a store, your own beer will follow. In 1992, White opened Home Brew Mart, a humble shop with hops, malts, and, vitally, a place for community that planted seeds for the San Diego craft beer scene to come. White eventually launched Ballast Point from out of the back of the store in 1996. The store is still growing strong.

That shop basically birthed the San Diego beer scene.

Considering all the homebrewing passion Jack White churned up and fed Home Brew Mart, it’s no surprise his humble storefront has been called “the shop that launched a thousand brewing careers.” According to the San Diego Reader, former employees and customers have gone on to contribute to San Diego’s bucket-list-worthy beer destinations, including Coronado, AleSmith, Amplified Ale Works, Pizza Port, and Nickel Beer Co.

Ballast Point became a billion-dollar brewery.

Yes, a billion dollars. As much as we imagine Elon Musk is going to pay for the moon, whenever he tries to buy it, is the number beverage giant Constellation Brands landed on when it purchased Ballast Point in 2015.

But that deal didn’t pan out.

In April 2019, Constellation announced it would close several locations and cancel plans for a new brewery in San Francisco. By December 2019, four years after acquiring Scuplin’s creator, Constellation sold Ballast Point to a small Chicago-based company called Kings & Convicts Brewing Co. It sold at a loss of a few hundred million dollars. (Then again, once I tried to resell my 1996 Toyota Corolla and ended up paying for it to be moved and destroyed. It happens.)

Ballast Point multiplied.

Ballast Point’s star-bright future with Constellation as a parent and Corona as a sibling may have dimmed, but the brewery is still out here making lots of beer. At press time, it operates five locations in California and one in Chicago. Choosing which to visit depends on what kind of beer geek you are. In San Diego alone, there’s the main production facility in Miramar; the original location, none other than the Home Brew Mart in Linda Vista, and another location in Little Italy. Long Beach is home to another Ballast Point taproom, and filling out Ballast Point’s California roster is a location in Anaheim. About that Anaheim location…

Get ready for some fist-fighting Mickeys.

What better to celebrate, or erase, the memory of your third visit to “It’s a Small World” than (so much) beer? In late 2018 Ballast Point opened at DisneyLand, becoming the first brewery to launch a location in the Disney Park universe. Technically a part of “Downtown Disney” (which sounds like a place you can get hassled by an ornery off-the-clock Mickey Mouse), the Ballast Point brewpub includes an R&D brewery, an outdoor beer garden, and a restaurant, according to a press release.

Magic Kingdom-worthy brews include the apricot Belgian Strong Ale aged in virgin oak and clocking in at 12 percent ABV, a 6.5 percent ABV Pineapple Chili Kombucha we’d like to have installed in our water tap, and a small-batch local Thunderking coffee-infused milk stout, which should yield just the right mix of energy-plus-sensory-numbing buzz to prep you for a return to the park.

Its most famous IPA is brewed with a metaphorical rattlesnake bite.

Sculpin IPA is one of Ballast Point’s most noteworthy beers (you might know it better by its aforementioned label — the one with the terrifying bright reddish orange fish?). The beer’s bold, citrusy hoppiness is why people love it, but it’s called Sculpin because of that hoppy bite: For non-aquarists out there, sculpin fish have stinging spines that can supposedly cause as much pain as a rattlesnake bite. (Don’t worry: The beer rings in at a soothing 7 percent ABV.)

Ballast Point was on “The Big Bang Theory.” And that upset some people.

Not because they weren’t Chuck Lorre fans. Ballast Point and its fairly recognizable label were on an episode of “The Big Bang Theory” back in late 2015 (you know, the one where nerdery and hilarity collide). Some beer fans hailed the product placement as a good thing, e.g., “Raj couldn’t be drinking a better beer,” while others maybe not inaccurately decried the non-crafty vibe of product placement on a major network. (Fellow San Diego craft brewery Stone has also made more than a few TV cameos).

Possibly an appearance with more craft beer cachet: That’s a Ballast Point poster over Richard’s shoulder here on “Silicon Valley,” and it’s not paid product placement, either — according to this 2017 interview in Hop Culture, the prop master for the show is a fan, because people who make awesome things like the awesome things other people make.

Ballast Point has a distillery step-sibling.

Just like Ballast Point was incubated in the warm, grainy bosom of the Home Brew Mart, another operation grew up within Ballast Point brewery — the distillery Cutwater Spirits. The brainchild of then-Ballast head brewer Yuseff Cherney and founder Jack White, Cutwater eventually parted ways with Ballast Point, developing into a robust distilling operation that does spirits and— make room in your picnic basket — a game-changing line of canned cocktails (we’re partial to the G&T and Bloody Mary).
