Where to Drink Beer in North County | Eater San Diego
"Not all of San Diego’s breweries are wild affairs. Sure, in the beach towns to the south, the only way for a brewery to get any attention is to be loud and raucous enough to grab it, but up in North County, not everyone needs the attention. Some are just happy to be quiet, serene places, as dedicated to the art of making good beer as they are to the art of spending a lazy afternoon tasting IPAs and thinking about life. It was started up by a surfer and a home-brewer who partnered together, and the vibe here is very different from lots of other places in North County — it’s chill and relaxed, with furniture from all sorts of different places, and a few big windows that let in the sun as it sets over North County. The beers are tasty and light to match, with more than a few IPAs, with one red ale and a porter adding just a touch of shade. There’s occasional yoga, food trucks, and other fun, but it’s nice to go during a slow time too, when it’s just you, the sun coming through the windows, a good beer, and a book or a friend for company." - Mike Schramm
