While it wasn’t focus of our SoCal weekend trip, we did manage to sneak in visits to three new-to-us breweries: everywhere, Bottle Logic, and Monkish—all excellent suggestions from our friend Greg Wellins (better known as @GregVisitsBreweries)—and loved everything we tried. Monkish in particular has been on my list for ages, all due to Greg.
We met Greg at Lochiel Brewing maybe 8yrs ago, back when I was working on a questing app that included some brewing quests and long before he hit brewery #1000. If you like craft beer and use IG, he’s a great follow. It’s also fun to show up to a new brewery, tell them that Greg sent you, and immediately get served some special pours, gratis. Thanks for all the great suggestions, Greg! Hope to share a pint with you again soon.
