My work is going to be shut down between Christmas and New Years, so I want to turn those couple days into a mini beer vacation. At the same time I'd love to meet up with some of you guys and gals as well. At this point I have no set agenda, but I'd like to hit as many places as realistic in the alotted time without backtracking much.
As far as locations, I'd like to keep it in Southern California, roughly Santa Barbara to San Diego, but I'd be willing to go a little further. My main goal is to get to the little places I've never been, but ultimately I'm up for anything. Possible brewpubs include (as I scan the back of the Celebrator):
Ventura, LA, and Orange County
Hollister Brewing Co. - Goleta
Huntington Beach Beer Co - Huntington Beach
Ocean Brewing Co. - Laguna Beach
O'Shea Brewing - Laguna Niguel
Belmont Brewing - Long Beach
Newport Beach Brewing Co. - Newport Beach
Hangar 24 - Redlands
Redondo Beach Brewing Co. - Redondo Beach
Left Coast Brewing Co. - San Clemente
Pizza Port - San Clemente
San Pedro Brewing Co. - San Pedro
Santa Barbara Brewing Co. - Santa Barbara
Red Car Brewery - Torrance (My local)
Anacapa Brewing Co. - Ventura
San Diego County
Pizza Port - Carlsbad
Coronado Brewing Co. - Coronado
Stone Brewing - Escondido
La Jolla Brew House - La Jolla
La Jolla Brewery - La Jolla
Breakwater - Oceanside
San Diego Brewing Co. - San Diego
San Marcos Brewery - San Marcos
Pizza Port - Solana Beach
Green Flash Brewing Co. - Vista
Also if we get a few people involved we could possibly arrange a tour of a production brewery:
Craftsman - Pasadena
The Bruery - Placentia
AleSmith - San Diego
Ballast Point - San Diego
Port Brewing - San Marcos
Other possible get together spots:
Father's Office - LA or Santa Monica
Lucky Baldwin's - Pasadena
These are all just ideas. If anyone has recommendations or suggestions please post. I'm up for anything. I just want to get it organized before it's too last minute.
