Green Flash Brewing Co. in San Diego, CA
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but now that I’ve lived in Washington, D.C. for a little over six months, I can definitively say it: Thank God the East Coast beer scene is a little dull. That’s not to say there aren’t a lot of great beers out here, because there certainly are, but it means that bars in the area scrounge every corner of the globe to find beers that make up for the lack of a dominant section of the East that can exert its beer dominance. So there’s never a lack of quality beers from breweries that I’ve never heard from before, much like the Green Flash Brewing Company in San Diego, CA. Though we are far from the season here in D.C., stouts are out in greater abundance than tourists hoping to walk into Obama’s big ol’ White House. And when I found a double stout at a great local bar, Churchkey, for under an arm and a leg, I dove into the Green Flash Double Stout, even though the temperature was pressing 100. I like taking risks, you know?
Oh, and hey, everyone. I’m back!
