Biggest beer stories of 2016 San Diego breweries expand out of state Local beer companies have been colonizing Orange and Los Angeles counties for years, but 2016 was the year San Diego breweries officially expanded production into other states. Stone Brewing Co. kicked things off in July with a facility in Richmond, Virginia. Mother Earth Brewing Co. launched its Nampa, Idaho, brewery in Octo- ber, and Green Flash Brewing Co. followed in Virginia Beach a month later. The first San Diego brewery to launch out- side California did so outside the U.S. altogether — Stone grand- opened its Berlin brewery to the public this summer but began brewing there in late 2015.

Out of state breweries expand to San Diego Apparently, the desire to bring beer into a new market goes both ways. Oregon brewery 10 Bar- rel Brewing inadvertently raised a big stink by announcing plans to open a brewpub in East Vil- lage, mostly due to the fact it’s been owned by craſt beer’s natural enemy, AB InBev — the world’s largest beer conglomerate — since 2014. Better received was a San Diego branch of Denmark’s Mikkeller Brewing — partly because it partnered with AleSmith’s Peter Zien, partly because the company retains its street cred. T e jury’s still out on a branded local fundraising events space planned by Lagunitas Brewing Company. T e Northern California business started a little closer to home, but it’s 50 percent owned by multina- tional corporation Heineken and building a mas- sive brewery outside Los Angeles, so it’s tough to view even a charitable San Diego presence as anything but a means of getting a foot in the door of the local beer market.

Four local breweries shut down for good, while a fi ſt h, Poway’s Lightning Brewery, is reportedly for sale.

But as our palates have become more sensitive to craft brews, other bever- age concerns are rising. San Diego coff ee has made amaz- ing gains, with more than 40 roasters in business. But there’s more. Craft spirit producers have taken advantage of more progressive state laws to gain
visibility, while sake and even kombucha pro- ducers are just getting started.
