The AleSmith IPA collaborations continue into 2023. This time the San Diego brewery heads to Telluride along with Chinook, Cashmere and Sabro hops.
Holiday Cheers – Day 5 – Winter Break from Burgeon Beer Co.
I do long for the school days at times, more for the breaks from school that I no longer have access to but Burgeon Beer Company has a Winter Break for us all…
…”This Hazy IPA stuffed with Citra Cryo, Mosaic Cryo, El Dorado, & Nectaron will have you reminiscing about your favorite trips down the slopes.”
Guide to SD
San Diego Beer News has the best guides out there. Funnily, they were mostly not of San Diego. That is changing and it starts with the Oceanside area at the North.
CoLab
San Diego Beer News wrote about an interesting project for Beer Paper LA about the recently opened CoLab.
Three breweries, a winery and a Baby’s Badass Burgers under on roof on the Hop Highway of Vista.
I have long advocated for something similar in L.A. Personally, Hollywood seems the right area since it is pretty devoid of breweries in comparison to downtown. I like the idea of three breweries as well with different aims. One new, one barrel aging and one a second taproom.
New in San Diego
I do not know how one person can cover the vast San Diego craft beer scene. Too much. Way too much. But read HERE for info on four, yes four new breweries…
- VooDoo Child Brewing
- Backyard Brewing
- Tipping Pint
- Seek Beer Co.
Doing a new brewery crawl might be an easier ask.
New in SD
As traveling starts to ramp back up, where to drink guides are starting to ramp up as well.
And one place Angelenos might be looking to test the beer travel waters is San Diego.

Beer City
One question has popped up a lot recently, what will be the first post-pandemic movie that you will sit in a movie theater and watch.
Well, I have an option for beer fans. Beer City San Diego. You can read more HERE about the documentary. You will get interviews with legends like Peter Zien of AleSmith among others.
Taps Merger
Mergers and acquisitions news from South and South of us in Los Angeles. The 3 Local Brothers restaurant group, which includes beer properties Urge American Gastropub, Mason Ale Works, Beer Zombies Brewing and Ferrous Falcon is teaming will combine with TAPS Fish House & Brewery AND Newtopia Cyder. The usual greater buying power and other merger talking points were alluded to but the bigger news is they plan to have a new brewery in the Midwest.
SD Beer News
When this Covid Pause is over, beer fans will need to make up lost ground and visit taprooms again, and to best prepare for that glorious day, you will need information. SD Beer News should be your choice for that news. Brandon Hernandez has been covering the scene and worked in it as well so he is uniquely plugged into what is happening. Head HERE to sign-up.
Athletic in San Diego
Non-Alcoholic East Coast brewer Athletic has pounced on the former Ballast Point “Trade Street” brewing facility and will be shipping their beer out the door in mid-May. This new production hub will increase their capacity and help them meet a demand across its 10 state distribution footprint. And maybe they will even add a taproom to this spot as well.
