Yay! it’s actually Wednesday. This week I got to interview Kristine, a triple threat Craft Beer Chick from San Diego, California! She works at a brewery (Culture Brewing), blogs and is a successful craft beer influencer with over 11k Instagram followers. Check out the interview below.
Session Amarillo IPA by Culture Brewing Co. I have worked for Culture for 4 1/2 years now and absolutely adore this beer! I’m drinking it while working, bringing it home in my growler, and even have it on tap at my house when we have it in rotation.
Around that time, with time to kill in Escondido. I wandered into Stone Brewing and ended up leaving with my first glass growler. Filled with Arrogant Bastard go figure…you could say I jumped right in!
Jester King from Austin Texas has a Funk Metal Series, and one style is a Sour Barrel-Aged Stout at 8.2% refermented with cherries. I’d sure love to get my hands on this one some day!
I always love visiting my friends at Booze Brothers Brewing in Vista. I’ve seen their growth from day one, and respect their hard work, creativity and loyalty to the beer community.
Not being one for bright colors and confusion I’ve always loved Booze Brothers look. They have had Ben Horton on design now for awhile, and you can see the continuity in each release over the years.
Northern Pine in Oceanside opened recently and is 5 minutes from my house. They make outstanding beer, and have joined up with my favorite local BBQ joint, That Boy Good! Win Win!
Oh I had a feeling you would ask this question at some point! Gosh…I did drink my fare share of Coronas, but I also liked a sweet lemon drink called Hooch. Not sure what the heck it even was, Malt Liquor perhaps?! I hear it is making a comeback!
Yes I have home brewed before, but in the end I’ve decided that it is easier to bring amazing beer home from work than drink the iffy beer I’ve brewed!
Easy, the beach! It’s the best way to relax.
Not a fan of beer on cask because I’m a stickler for full carbonation. That being said, I use my 64oz stainless double-insulated growler for everything! Fill it at work, fill it from my keg at home or even pour a few cans in there. Keeps it all perfectly cold!
Kombucha. Brewing a little at home right now!
The best way to learn about craft beer is to drink all the beer in all the places! But seriously, exposure to as many styles as possible. Also, follow all the breweries on Instagram because they love to talk about beer and brewing when asked.
Sure! I always love when a brewery invites me for a visit! When there are almost 160 in San Diego sometimes I need a little direction!
