@lost_nomad__ Florida beaches are definitely my preference, but I take my dogs to the Del Mar Dog Beach almost every day - it’s great, the views are wonderful, there’s no tar, my dogs love it, and the water definitely doesn’t get deep immediately.

The water is cold, the sand is more rough, there is tar on the beach, the water gets deep immediately, it’s a dark blue color Basically no appeal over elsewhere. Again, unless you surf

Sad to say, but unless you surf, California beaches are basically worthless compared to Florida or the Carolinas Odd because they are so glamorized. My only attempt at an explanation is that CA is just where Hollywood is so they promoted their own beaches over elsewhere

@MartinR2D2 @AdiMagnolia @GunGnome Well, as a matter of fact, I’ve legally taken and had many a beer at Prisidio Park in San Diego while soaking up the views of Old Town, Mission Bay, and even the Pacific.

@AdiMagnolia @GunGnome Can you have a beer in a park? If no, you don't have a beer culture.

Me in Scotland: can I get a pale ale please Barkeep: it's not like a regular beer Me: that's fine Barkeep: it's not carbonated and it's not chilled Me: that's fine Barkeep: are you sure? Me: I know my accent sounds American but I'm Canadian Barkeep: ah ok here you go

@VesuviusHambone @AdiMagnolia @GunGnome Wrong. I’ve had cask beer way too many times in the USA. The brewery I go to in San Diego, Barley and Sword, to watch college football has cask beer all the time. Currently have an Irish Stout, English Porter, London Brown Ale, English IPA, and English Pale Ale on cask.

@AdiMagnolia @GunGnome It's still really difficult to find cask beer in the US. I can imagine even seasoned keg drinkers being surprised.
