Beer in Miramar

In addition to finally making it to the White Labs, me and beer buddy Richard also hit three other extremely, really close breweries near the Miramar area just north of San Diego proper.

And we still didn’t visit Alesmith or Ballast Point!

First stop was Hess (or Mike Hess) Brewing…..

Next stop was Rough Draft Brewing (some of their bottles are making their way to L.A.)

 

The Belgian Blonde and Eraser IPA were the winners here.

Last on the itinerary was Green Flash….

This is barely a 1/4 of the size of their facility.
