As the temps dip below 70\u00b0 in Southern California, it’s time to collectively agree that fall is now the very best time to drink beer.

VICTORY AT SEA<\/strong> – Now on draft in all Ballast Point taprooms and in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles and on shelves throughout Ballast Point’s distribution network.A big porter crafted to weather any storm, the well-loved original Victory at Sea Imperial Porter with coffee and vanilla is a bold, smooth brew with just the right amount of sweetness. Ballast Point infused this robust porter with whole vanilla beans and San Diego’s own Caffe Calabria coffee beans. The subtle roasted notes and minimal acidity of the cold-brewed coffee, balances perfectly with the sweet caramel undertones of the malt, creating a winning combination. Although the winters in San Diego aren’t very wintery, the brewers at Ballast Point wanted a warmer, winter ale that brings comfort on those days when you can see your breath. This Imperial Porter clocks in at 10% ABV and gets most of its roasted flavor from coffee beans.<\/p>\n
