This past weekend Herb and I headed to San Diego for some cool weather and good beer. We spent time at Stone Brewing Co and Pizza Port Brewery. Stone is extremely nice and the beer was excellent. We went on a tour of the brewery which was my first so I had fun. The main goal was to get some of the archived IRS, we did it and liked it. Pizza Port was more down to earth but food and beer just as good. If you are in Carlsbad or Escondido, hit them up.

Up close to a fermentor on the tour (four free tasters at the end!).
