So I'm trying to send some locals from the bay area to san diego. Anybody know which breweries the bay gets but SD doesn't?
Pretty much nothing of great note. But in an attempt at a helpful answer, I don't think SD gets: Iron Springs Drake's Knee Deep Highwater CaliCraft Ale Industries Magnolia (growlers only) Auburn Alehouse I also am not sure, but don't think Eclipse makes it down there.
SD gets Drakes, Knee Deep, Highwater, and Eclipse. We don’t get 21st Amendment but I seem to recall hearing at some point that that’s in the pipeline (take that with a teaspoon of salt). To be honest, this kind of deal isn’t going to be the easiest thing to get done since we’re a bit spoiled down here – last time I went to norcal I actively looked for beers to bring back home and brought back almost none. Your best bet is probably to concentrate on certain RR releases, such as FfaC and Beat.
Moonlight - you might need to buy a keg and fill up some swing top growlers unless you know someone at a bar that will help you out growlers of RR that are only on tap at the brewery (Porter, Row 2, Mortification, etc.) and anything that they do as mentioned above like FFAC, Beat, etc.
