Checking in one day after returning from my California trip. I made it to 10 breweries across my two weeks (child's stuff compared to you, but a jam packed trip for my partner and I). Started with The Bruery in Orange County, as we drove back to LA from Joshua Tree National Park. In LA I got to Highland Park where I had an excellent Italian pilsner and a west coast IPA. In Santa Barbara, we hit Figueroa Mountain and Brass Bear Brewing. We spent a night in Solvang where I enjoyed an amber ale at Solvang Brewing Company. On our way up the coast we stopped at Firestone Walker, which is possibly the biggest brewery I've been to. We made it to Sante Adairius for some excellent sours on our way to San Francisco. Once there, we went to the 21st Amendment taproom before a Giants game. In the final stop in Sonoma, we made it to both Russian River and Henhouse. Russian River was truly a bucket list stop, I was absolutely giddy the entire time. Henhouse was only open for to-go sales, unfortunately.
cheers to the Atlanta & Mississippi recommendations. FYI, i've started serving in the taproom at The Drowned Lands Brewery in Warwick, NY. will keep an eye out for you whenever you finally make your visit.
