This is heartbreaking news for me, as I was really looking forward to this trip. However, due to unforseen personal issues that have arisen just recently, I will be unable to make my December trip.
During this trip, in addition to visiting some family and spending New Years in Las Vegas, I was planning on visiting the following California Breweries:
- Sierra Nevada Brewing - Chico, CA
- Mendocino Brewing - Ukiah, CA
- Russian River Brewing - Santa Rosa, CA
- Lagunitas Brewing - Petaluma, CA
- Marin Brewing - Larkpsur, CA
- Moylan's Brewing - Novato, CA
- Firestone Walker Brewing - Paso Robles, CA (And Buellton, CA)
- Port Brewing/Lost Abbey - San Marcos, CA
- The Bruery - Placentia, CA
- Stone Brewing - Escondido, CA
The only one of these breweries I've been to before is Marin Brewing in Larksupr, CA. Most of the others didn't exit yet when I moved from California up to Washington state years ago. So, I was really looking forward to finally getting to the source of some of my favorite beers.
Though the trip must be postponed for now - I definitely intend to re-organize things agian as soon as possible. Perhaps next summer - or the same time next year. I'll keep you posted.
If any of my readers manage to visit any of these breweries, tell them Beer Monger says hello and have a pint for me!
Drink responsibly and stay safe out there.
