Reports from the trenches of the San Diego beer scene

We relish the opportunity to be your companions in navigating these glorious waters.

Why we’re here

Posted December 13th, 2008 by Nate

Our goal here is to experience new beers, to congregate and discuss said beers in a forum a little larger than the local pub. We want to keep you informed of the goings-on and want you to return the favor.

We’re just a couple of guys who feel very fortunate to live in San Diego. As residents of this fine city we have the privilege of enjoying its many benefits, not the least of which are the fine brews offered by local brewmasters.  We want to experience these benefits to their fullest potential.

Over the past few years we have come to appreciate the amazing variety of world-class craft brews available throughout the county. We’re not beer experts, far from it.  We are learning as we go.  However, through this journey we’ve realized that beer isn’t just a beverage, it’s an experience. An opportunity to ponder and debate it’s merits (or shortfalls) with friends in good company.

We’ll be posting here a few times per week, maybe more. We’ll be letting you know what we think about the brews we sample, and want to hear your thoughts. Comment on our posts or email us.

A few points of interest:

  • We’ve compiled what we think is a pretty comprehensive list of breweries and beers in San Diego. Let us know if we missed any.
  • Likewise with the events calendar. I know it’s pretty Stone-centric, but that’s only because they publicize so well. Let us know of any other beer-related events coming up
