rid termites in things

Welcome to San Diego, beer pilgrims! Now, fork over some gas money. Visiting the county's famed breweries and pubs, you'll rack up the miles. Last weekend, ratebeer.com – a Texas-based Web site – led a two-day tour of our sudsy landmarks. Starting in Carlsbad, it trekked to Escondido, Kearny Mesa, South Park and points between. Hops spots (PDF) To see the county's breweries, such gas-guzzling gallivanting is unavoidable. But if you merely want to taste these brews and explore San Diego's vibrant beer culture, there's a cheaper and more fuel-efficient method. Simply explore – by foot, car or the No. 2 bus – 30th Street. The five-plus miles between Normal Heights and South Park offer nine stops with excellent beer and decent or better food. All aboard! 1. Hamilton's Tavern As a bar, Hamilton's had it all: pool tables, indoor shuffleboard, foosball, a jukebox, beer flowing from taps, a beer engine and hundreds of bottles. Then owner Scott Blair added a diner, specializing in organic, hormone-free pub grub. Cheers! DINER'S CHOICE: Burgers are good here, but you can find burgers everywhere. Instead, try the moules et frites, mussels cooked in Green Flash Tripel and served with thick fries. DRINKER'S CHOICE: Strike an adventurous note with a bottle of Beyond the Pale Ale ($10) from Nogne-O, the hot Norwegian microbrewery. (No, that's not a joke.) 2. Zensei Sushi Advertisement Cracking the Code of Sexual Chemistry and Attraction The Secret to Getting Highly Discounted Cruise Tickets How to Brew Coffee Shop Coffee at Home and Save Zensei's narrow corner location allows you to sit and watch the world, North Park division, pass by. Comfy chairs and an extensive menu make Zensei ideal for a quick bite or a long, leisurely feast. DINER'S CHOICE: Firecrackers ($6.75 for four or five), jalapenos tempura-style, are fun; crunchy salmon ($4.25) and spicy yellowtail handrolls ($5) are appetizing; but chicken katsu ($11.50) with plummy BBQ sauce makes the evening. DRINKER'S CHOICE: Asahi, Sapporo and Kirin are here, as they are in virtually every Japanese restaurant. But big bottles of Orion ($7.50)? The toast of Okinawa is tough to find in Tokyo. Imagine our surprise finding it at 30th and Upas. 3. Blue Foot Bar and Lounge Two big rooms divided by a long bar, Blue Foot is spacious enough to host dance-worthy bands on weekends. There's no kitchen, but patrons ordered burgers, chili and PBJ sandwiches next door at Commonwealth Cafe. That joint closed in June. Until it reopens, order to-go from Lefty's Chicago Pizzeria, just down the block. DINER'S CHOICE: Blue Foot loyalists like Lefty's. But they loved Commonwealth. DRINKER'S CHOICE: Quirky tap handles – Peroni? why? – alternate with classics like AleSmith Anvil ESB, Ballast Point Yellowtail Pale Ale and Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA. But try Karl Strauss' IIPA ($5), a double India Pale Ale that defies the brewery's reputation for easygoing beers. This one takes no prisoners. bakelite schlitz beer sign wadi beer
