Can you think of a better way to spend a sunny afternoon? My first product review on this site: Love the insulated growler bag. Good for six packs and picnics, too. #craftbeer #growler

#LaJolla’s newest #brewpub, CAVU Brewing (originally opened as Absolution by the Sea), offers #craftbeer from the Absolution #brewery in Torrance as well as offerings made here, on the oldest still-operating #brewing system in #sandiego. Check out their awesome patio!

SR76 Beerworks is a about an hour’s drive from San Diego proper. It is worth it for the pleasant views along the way, the comfortable tasting room and the very good beer.  #craftbeer #sandiego

Belching Beaver’s main production facility is impressively large, and their beer is reliably very good. #craftbeer #SanDiego
