Post #8 - San Diego Brews

   It's nearing the end of my blog assignment and what I meant to do this quarter was highlight local breweries around the Bay Area. I did for the most part, but unfortunately this is another post about beer outside of the Bay Area. About 400 miles away, to be more exact.
   I went down to San Diego this past weekend as I am considering transferring to SDSU later this Fall. Of course, as a 21-year-old transfer college student, I had to sample some San Diego brews.
   Taking the advice of my brother, my father and I went to Pure Project, in Mira Mesa, San Diego. It looks like a fairly new building with new and modern designs decorating the inside. After chatting up the UC San Diego student working behind the bar, I started my sampling. First was "Proper," a regular, English style pale ale. Smooth, creamy, zero dankness. This beer was simple but done extremely well. It made me want to jump ahead to the heavier duty drinks.
   The one beer that stood out to me the most was an unfiltered, west coast style IPA. The name was "Fly By."
   For lack-of-better words; holy shit.
   Extremely hoppy and dank, but you didn't get the overwhelming bitter aftertaste. This beer packed quite a punch, but was arguably one of the most crisp and refreshing drinks I've had. Upon the first smell it contained pine, citrus, and marijuana.
   It tasted just how it smelled. Godly.
   When I transfer to San Diego State you will find me at Pure Project.
For now this is the end, more to come. Drink Responsibly.
