San Diego county locals who have yet to make their weekend plans will want to consider heading out to Poway, CA for some beer tasting at Lightning Brewery. A craft brewery, Lightning brews award-winning, hand-crafted European style beers. Following their mantra of "Purity, Quality, and Integrity," Lightning Brewery keeps their brews natural, without artificial flavors or preservatives. Using the four traditional beer brewing ingredients of malted grain, hops, yeast and water, the brewery develops dynamic flavors like cloves, citrus, fruit, and toffee.
Lightning Brewery was established by Dr. James Crute, who worked for 23 years in the biotech industry while maintaining his hobby of beer making on the side. When the craft beer industry in San Diego began to develop, Jim decided to be a part of it, so he leased brewing space in Poway and was selling his beer by 2006. Today, beer fans can visit the brewery to sample the beers and tour the brewery. Those who can’t quite make it out to the brewery can get Lightning beers on tap in 300 local restaurants or purchase bottles at local liquor stores and grocery stores.
