Buy Local

In my last post I gave two simple recommendations for holiday beer gifts:  a generic growler and a brewery gift card.  I forgot to mention that you should also buy local.  If you buy a gift card from a brewery it is likely that you will purchase it directly at a brewery.  There are more than 130 breweries in San Diego so it should not be hard to find a brewery near you or your work.  Here is a list and a map from the San Diego Brewers Guild to help you find a local brewery, not one owned by Big Beer.
