Sweeter California

SweetWater Brewing Company recently announced expansion all across California. The march west includes the opening of SweetWater Colorado in Fort Collins plus the acquisition of passed around San Diego beer brands, Alpine Beer Company and Green Flash Brewing Company.

The Georgia based brewery is the nation’s 11th largest craft brewer and is turning 25th this year, both impressive numbers but I don’t think if you asked California beer fans to name five out of state breweries they would like to see here that SweetWater would make the list except for Marvel movie crew members who shuttle from L.A. to Atlanta.

New in LA

Which is great for us consumers because we get a wide variety of beers we get to choose from. All that being the wind up to the latest round of breweries whose beers we have seen recently and will be seeing in the future.

Mystic Brewing from Boston
Gigantic Brewing from Portland
Crooked Stave from Denver

Look for them at fine beer shoppes and introductory tasting events.
