Hi All - my wife and I are doing a coastal road trip from SD to Mendocino at the end of April. The trip isn't beer specific, but we're planning on stopping at a few places along the way. So far we're going to do Societe, Alpine and Bruery. Any other must-stop locations along the way? Would prefer to stick close(ish) to the coast if possible, and I've already been to RR. Cheers
Marin Brewing in Larkspur just off the 101. The Libertine in Morro Bay off the 1. Firestone Walker Barrel Works in Buelton off the 101. Hollister in Goleta off the 101. Fathers Office in Santa Monica off the 405. Beechwood in Long Beach off the 101.
Second the North Coast Brewing recommendation as Fort Bragg is only about 10 miles north of Mendocino.
If you like hoppy beers, then Cellarmaker in SF is a must. Same goes for sours and Rare Barrel in Berkeley.
