Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
In can be easy to stay in your local beer bubble or, heck, a statewide beer bubble. One good way to break out and get a fresh perspective is to read some out of country beer writing. I Am A Brewer is a more technical and brewing site / newsletter / podcast but you can zoom around reading what you find interesting and the podcast is only ten minutes long so you are not going to be stuck in a meandering discussion.
A new beverage magazine is on the way! Sip California. They will be covering “3,600 wineries, hundreds of craft breweries, distilleries on the rise, hard cider expansion, epicurean travel accommodations, bustling bar scenes and culinary artisans of the region, Sip California will showcase the stories behind everything you love to sip—all in one place.”
Hopefully it will be as balanced as my go-to favorite magazine in this genre, Imbibe. Second hopefully is that it will be distributed so the average person can find it.
I am optimistic though because they have San Diego beer writer Brandon Hernández on board which is a good sign. He is sharp and talented.

Plus they have a music and beer piece from the esteemed Pete Brown.
