Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Yesterday, I shared the top five most intriguing brewery projects on deck throughout San Diego County. Today, Im disclosing the seven that round out my top 12 and why.

6 - Prodigy Brewing Company: When we last left off with Dean Roueau, he had resigned from San Diego Brewing Company and was working as a consultant, helping others open breweries throughout Southern California, while he worked to find a home for his own interest. He now has a place in the Grantville neighborhood, as well as wood and stainless steel fermentation vessels, as well as a plan to take young, aspiring brewers under his wing to show them the ropes of the industry in an altruistic way. The latter is enough to make Rouleau and his project ones to watch. ETA: Undetermined.

7 - URBN St. Brewery: El Cajon residents cant wait to wash away the dismal memories of El Cajon Brewing Company. That ill-managed, subpar operation burned through over a million dollars of City funding, leaving nothing but a dirty eyesore in its wake. Last year, the owners of URBN Coal-Fired Pizza took over the space along with former Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens Escondido executive chef Alex Carballo, and installed former Stone Brewing Co. brewer Callaway Ryan to man the inherited 15-barrel brewhouse. More business sense and brewing talent figure to give El Cajon the brewpub it deserved in the first place. ETA: June 2014.

8 - Fall Brewing Company: Though he was let go from Saint Archer Brewery, brewer Ray Astamendi clearly has plenty of talent. Hell be looking to proudly proclaim that as the headman and brewmaster at this upcoming North Park interest along with fellow former Saint Archer staffer David Lively. The business and its 15-barrel brewhouse will be installed in a former automotive repair facility on an avenue regularly referred to as Beer Street USA 30th Street. ETA: Summer 2014.

9 - Urge Craft Alley / Project X Brewing Company: Whether it features bowling lanes or bocce ball courts (the former is planned, but ordinances may lead to the latter as an alternative), this grand-scale brewpub, bottle shop, and center for recreational activity will be big and beery. Owner Grant Tondro of Urge Gastropub fame avoided a gutter ball by hiring former Port Brewing Company and The Lost Abbey head brewer Mike Rodriguez to help with brewhouse installation and recipe development, which should help keep the project in the lane. ETA: Undetermined.

10 - North Park Beer Co.: Homebrewer extraordinaire Kelsey McNair owns the naming rights needed to become his communitys eponymous brewery, but finding a space to house his operation has proven challenging. Hes been at it for years, developing very nice prototype recipes along the way, but when hell be able to realize his goals remains unknown. Still, its something I, and many other local beer fans, would like to see happen. ETA: Undetermined.

11 - Toolbox Brewing Company: Aptly enough, Toolbox is in the hammer-and-nails stage, constructing its Vista facility as quickly as possible to share its wares, which will include a sour ale program straight out of the gate. Foresight like that, and building buzz, make for something worth keeping an eye on. ETA: Summer 2014.

12 - Coronado Brewing Company Imperial Beach: At no time in this companys 18-year history, has it been as exciting as it is right now. Fresh off winning Champion Medium-sized Brewing Company at the cross-planetary World Beer Cup competition, they are making every style in the sun and doing it better than ever before. Add the fact this will be the first brewing operation in the countys southernmost city, and this is a big deal. ETA: Summer 2014.

Please note that, although these are my top 12 as far as level of interest is concerned, there are many other upcoming brewery projects that are very interesting, noteworthy, and worth anticipating. The list was kept to a dozen for the sake of brevity, and you can expect information on many of the 45 works-in-progress to appear via San Diego Beer News.

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) August 28, 2014

Super-Sod's new product, Drivable Grass, an environmentally friendly, permeable alternative to concrete, will be featured in their booth at the upcoming 2014 Water Education Summit in Asheville, NC, September 8-10. Discussions will include: conserving water locally, climate change, and watershed planning. Super-Sod brings Drivable Grass to the discussion as a beautiful, easy, and durable option for conserving water, reducing runoff, and mitigating Heat Island Effect.

Drivable Grass is a simple solution for water resource management using living material (turfgrass) to capture and process pollutants without giving up the area to unsightly detention basins or filtration ponds. Turfgrass is a natural bio-filter. Storm-water storage is increased and runoff is minimized when turfgrass is used in conjunction with Drivable Grass to filter, collect, and store run-off underground, underneath a Drivable Grass infrastructure that can be designed to have an attractive, modern look and to allow people and vehicles to use the space in a functional way.

The Drivable Grass system is used for storm drains, detention basins, ditches, filtration systems, bio-swale reinforcement, culvert outlets, fire lanes, and parking lot rainwater capture, just to name a few applications.

Landscape professionals, builders, planners, architects, educators, activists, and anyone in the public sphere interested in learning more about water conservation or Drivable Grass can attend the educational event. A link to The Summit's website can be found on Super-Sod's event & lawn tip calendar.

Super-Sod is a family-run business that employs experts in turf and horticulture. One of their most popular products has been their Soil3 organic compost, delivered in a cubic yard BigYellowBag, which they make partially from composted grass clippings from their sod production. Super-Sod continues to develop new garden products, foster gardening and landscaping, and always seeks to improve their farming practices, technology, environmental stewardship, and employee knowledge. Super-Sod Outlets serve Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Florida, and into Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia.

LAKE GEORGE -- Two events scheduled for Charles R. Wood Park in the coming weeks will be held on the newly turfed site as organizers took steps Thursday to minimize potential damage to the new grass.

Warren County leaders had expressed concern earlier this week, because sod placed on the park was put in three weeks later than planned.

The delay means the grass is susceptible to damage when the Shrine Circus and American Music Festival for the Lake take place next month, which prompted talk of moving the events.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais and county officials discussed the issue Thursday, and agreed to take precautions and use certain parts of Charles R. Wood Park that will allow the events to be held there as scheduled.

Blais said truck traffic will be limited during both the circus and concert, and a stage for the concert will be placed to limit issues with the grass.

Blais said more than 1,000 people are expected for the three-day music festival, which is growing as more acts commit to perform.

He had looked into moving the circus to state-owned Battlefield Park if the grass was not ready at Charles R. Wood Park, but the state would not allow it, Blais said. And no alternative site is available that is big enough for the concert.

Warren County Public Works Superintendent Jeff Tennyson said county officials were satisfied with the steps that would be taken during the events to limit traffic on the grass.

Were confident we can get them on the site without any problems, Tennyson said. The grass is getting green and growing well.

Despite late grass, events at park will go on

By Jayne Glennon Green, brown and white pieces of glass, tumbled smooth by the Atlantic, litter the south beach of Spectacle Island. Atop the grassy hill that leads down to this beach, a lone tree points east, a leafy flag in the wind. Gravel and stone dust trails circle up to the tree and then down and across lowland to the north side of the island and circle again to the top of another slightly taller grassy hill, this one topped by a gazebo. More than five miles of walking trails amid various stubby pine trees, sumac, raspberry vines and wildflowers, climb two drumlins that make up this lovely wind-blown island.

Spectacle Island is part of the Boston Harbor Islands, a National Park Area. At one time it was a garbage dump; the dumping ended in 1959 but the island languished for many years. Standing atop what used to be under Boston, both hills offer spectacular views of the city, the harbor and the awesome Atlantic.

Thrilled to have my dear friend Karen join me, we bought $15 round-trip ferry tickets at a booth on Long Wharf. Our tickets included George's Island, but we were to spend the day on Spectacle. The ferry ride was 20 minutes, and we enjoyed the different perspective of the waterfront and seaport.The visitor's center welcomed all and is the only building on the island other than two gazebos. Bathrooms, a snackbar and an island history exhibit are open to visitors when the ferries are running. Guided tours are offered by park rangers but we chose the self guided pamphlet.

Following the 10 tour stops in order, the path leads around and up the north drumlin. From here 360-degree views of Boston Harbor were breathtaking. The harbor channel, Logan Airport, many harbor islands, the Boston skyline and the Atlantic surrounded us. We picnicked, soaked in lots of fresh air and then continued the tour. Headed to South Beach along the eastern edge of the island, a massive stone sea wall has been built to hold the island/landfill in place. Spectacle Island was a beautiful place to walk with several miles of easy hills. Ferry service runs through Oct. 13.

The Yankees can make us all happy they exist. All they have to do is call up a Triple-A pitcher throwing well this year.

Yankees fans: Your team is annoying.

You wouldn't think that's a controversial statement, but every time I write something that even dances around a suggestion of a hint of an implication of that theme, I get emails. I get nasty tweets. It surprises me every time. Embrace it, Yankees fans. Embrace it. It's one part being better than everyone over the last century, one part getting more attention than everyone over the last century. Those are good things. Your team is annoying because of things that make you happy.

My team is annoying, too. The Giants weaponized Barry Bonds and sent him out into the world, and they've also had recent success in the postseason. Both of those things bother a lot of people. They're not as annoying as the Yankees, but, ha ha, no one is. It's not a bad thing. Embrace it or get used to people laughing at you when you get upset. Either way, just know that this is an objective truth.

For the last two seasons, the rest of us have had to follow retirement tours. All we want are baseball highlights, yet we have to sit through videos of Derek Jeter accepting alabaster gazebos and pretending to be grateful. This comes a year after watching Mariano Rivera going from ballpark to ballpark, accepting 500-pound pewter M&Ms he didn't want.

The Yankees are literally fighting for a playoff spot right now, which is absurdly annoying. They're playing a mummy at shortstop and almost every player they have is hurt or ineffective. They've been outscored by 25 runs on the season, giving them the same expected win-loss record as the Padres. Instead, they're fighting for their 18th playoff appearance of the last 20 years.

Yankees fans: Your team is annoying.

But there's a way the team can make it up to us. Well, partially make it up to us. It would take decades and decades of losing before the other 29 teams became totally sympathetic toward the Yankees, but there's a way to make us root for the Yankees on September 1. All they have to do is call up a Triple-A pitcher who has performed well at almost every stop of the minor leagues. Look at these stats:

Those are delightful stats. If the Yankees make room on the 40-man roster for this pitcher, everyone will root for him. Everyone will at least be curious about him, curious enough to tune into a Yankees broadcast for reasons other than hate-watching.
