Editor’s pick:Happy Monday, San Diego. Trivia nights are fun, but my favorite question of the night is… which beer would you like?
The two go hand-in-hand, and as you know, our county is a craft beer capital. My sweet go-to is “Cali Creamin’” by Mother Earth Brewing Co. or “San Diego Pale Ale .394” by AleSmith Brewing Company when I’m in a hoppy mood. 🍻
