Unfathomable growth in the City by the Sea
San Diego, California is situated in the far southwestern corner of the US on the border with Mexico and looks out across the vast expanse of the Pacific. Along with other famous cities further up the coast, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, San Diego is on the extreme western edge of the so-called Occident. Nevertheless, its influence has been felt across the brewing world. The Golden State, as California is known, is the birthplace of American craft beer, and the state’s brewing industry continues to exhibit healthy growth. San Diego was settled by immigrants from Europe, Latin America and Asia, among others, who followed the sun in search of gold. Those still seeking gold in California will find that it still flows in great abundance – as “the juice of the barley”.
