Waaaaay back in June Matt and I visited Stone Brewing Co. in Escondido for a brewery tour and tasting. Neither of us were huge Stone fans, but thought the tour and tasting would be fun.
The process for getting tour tickets is a little annoying. We got there a little before noon for the 12:00 tour; however you actually have to get there 2 hours prior to the tour starting to get tickets. We didn’t know that. So, we had to wait in line to grab tickets for the 2:00 tour. The line wasn’t bad as we were pretty close to the front of the line. With our 2 hours to kill we headed out to have lunch then came back for the tour.
The brewery was pretty small, but still interesting. We learned all sorts of things that I have forgotten since then. I never was that good in school.
Anyways, as usual the best part was the tasting afterward. I’m usually not a fan of the dark beers…actually I hate them. But they were included in our tasting and my favorite turned out to be the Stone Smoked Porter. I could totally taste the hints of coffee and chocolate in it. We even bought a jug-thing and brought it home.
