I found this great little article about beer, written by a San Diego State University student. In SDSU's Independent Student Newspaper "The Daily Aztec," staff writer John P. Gamboa wrote "San Diego steps it up in the brewing world."
Mr. Gamboa wrote:
"San Diego is known for a lot perks: sparkling beaches, good weather
and a world-famous zoo. World-class craft beer, however, is a new
addition to the list. Men’s Journal recently named San Diego as
America’s best beer city, edging out the long-time champion Portland,
Ore.
This November introduced the inaugural San Diego Beer Week, which showcased local craft brews from the county’s 33 breweries, with big names such as Stone Brewing Company, Pizza Port Brewing, Green Flash Brewing Company and Ballast Point Brewing Company taking part. No matter a person’s preference, San Diego has a beer for everyone from lagers to Imperial India Pale Ale.
According to the Web site for Japanese beverage distributor Nagano Trading Co. Ltd., Japan not only imports from Ballast Point, but also from the Stone, Green Flash and Coronado breweries."
So I went to the Nagano Trading Company website and sure enough, they are distributing three of our local Coronado Brewery beers:
• CB Idiot Double IPA
• CB Orange Ave Pale Ale
• CB Islander IPA
We are lucky to have Coronado Brewery right here in Coronado where we can walk over and get one of these world-famous beers whenever we like. The Brewery is located at 170 Orange Avenue. Drop in and try these beers yourself!
