OUT AND ABOUT--If stacked on end Bruce Glassman’s newly published “The San Diego
Brewery Guide,” [www.Georgianbaybooks.com], is about the size of a pint of tasty
craft beer.
Cover of Bruce Glassman's new "The San Diego Brewery Guide." |
Joe Terzi, CEO of the San
Diego Tourism Authority, addresses that point in an introduction to the guide. “When I began
my tenure in 2008, there were about 20 breweries in San Diego...Today, the
region boasts nearly 80...”
The guide is a bold
undertaking to attempt to capture a list of “all” San Diego breweries in one
book. West Coaster, the monthly beer magazine in San Diego finds it
remarkable how scene changes from “day to day,” says Ryan Lamb, editor of San
Diego’s monthly West Coaster
magazine.
“The San Diego Brewery
Guide” includes info on 70 breweries, plenty of beer tasting notes, two dozen
maps, including suggested tours by beer styles.
Glassman points out “...San Diego is projected to have more than 100 breweries
open and brewing by the end of 2014.”
Undaunted by the fact
the craft beer industry’s explosion in growth makes his book obsolete
even as it arrives at distribution points, Glassman has cleverly set himself up
for an annual (or sooner) reprinting schedule because of the local brewery
boom.
This latest and well done beer Baedeker is available for
$16.95 at various locations (check publisher’s website for availability). It
also fits nicely in a Xmas stocking. To
