FJ Cruisers of Northern California

NorCal Heads to SoCal - Cuz We Have Good Beer!

Yup - that's right. We have awesome beer!

Leonie and I have a few pub crawls that we're planning for the summer and we want to plan one for NorCal to visit Socal and perhaps do a brewery tour too! We have a lot of great microbreweries (and a nanobrewery!) in San Diego and I'm sure if we get enough interest going, we can get a (short) bus to haul us around so that nobody needs to drive and we can visit a few of the best breweries. As an alternative (or maybe in addition to the brewery tour on the same weekend - if you're all diehards) we can do a pub crawl in our neighborhood! We have room for a few NorCal/SoCal to stay at our place, but are close to downtown and other areas where there are plenty of hotels and the cab ride from our place wouldn't cost much. The expectation is that nobody drives if they're drinking. :)

So initially, let's gauge the interest level - post up if you are interested and might actually make the trip! From there, we'll figure out a good weekend for it to happen.

Sláinte!

Someone lied when they said that Norcal folks like beer.

Alrighty then...it's on! Are we gonna do a Norcal brewery tour first, then follow up with Socal for the superior beer? Or do you prefer to have the best first?

Yes, we can do Norcal brewery tour first. Only thing you will probably be disappointed when you go back to a Socal brewery

Hahaha! OK...well, I have a new job so we'll have to figure out a weekend for Norcal to do the good, but less superior beer first! Figure out your Socal list and I'll light a fire under everyone.

I like Carl Strauss and Stone Brewing (Arrogant Bastard, Double Bastard, etc...), but I LOVE LAGUNITAS!!!!

How about we start in Eureka ( Norcal) and assess the various options and alternatives along or near the Hwy 101 beer "corridor" all the way to San Diego (SoCal)?

Should we map it? I guess that would require a bigger bus or motor home(s) or a number of DDs.
