In college my buddies and I had an impressive beer collection. Our our obsession was fueled by Micheal Jacksons Beer Hunter book and the fact that we lived 4 miles for the top craft brewery in the US: Sierra Nevada.

In recent years, I’ve found a woman and job that I love in beautiful San Diego, CA. While this place is possibly the best place to live in the world, I’m always looking for new avenues to explore.

Enter craft beer brewing.

San Diego has an impressive collection of craft brewers to enjoy. To name a few:

Alesmith
Alpine Beer Company
Lightning
Pizza Port/Lost Abbey
Stone Brewing Co

I’ve been doing a weekly trip up to Alpine Beer Company to pick up their excellent Pure Hoppiness. The style that is in favor here; The Double IPA; it amazing. It has lots of hop flavor with a flowery finish. Yum.

In addition, San Diego has an great craft beer bar, O’Brien’s Pub, it has craft beer from all over California and a huge bottle collection

I’m in heaven…
