10 Easy LA Day Trips For Hiking And Drinking - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"There are three great breweries in San Marcos - Lost Abbey, Port Brewing, and The Hop Concept - and they’re all housed in the same warehouse. Lost Abbey is probably our favorite. It’s a Belgian-style spot that makes a few beers you can find in most bars in LA. But at the taproom you’ll find some of their strangest (and best) stuff, like Duck Duck Gooze, a blend of barrel-aged sours, and Bat Out Of Hell, a bourbon barrel-aged stout with tons of cacao and coffee flavor. Don’t leave without getting some Dank & Sticky, a Hop Concept IPA that’s, well… dank and sticky. Before you drink, though, get a hike in at Double Peak Trail, a 4.25-mile hike that starts in a residential neighborhood, and has lake views along the way to the summit." - Brett Keating
