There’s a grand total of one USDA-certified all-organic brewery in all of San Diego County, and that beer biz, Protector Brewery, is the focus of this week’s episode. Get some background on this seven-year-old op from a former Navy SEAL that’s not only using 100% organic hops, malt an yeast, but winning awards and preparing for the debut of its first-ever satellite venue. That kitchen-equipped tasting room is located on San Diego’s bayfront and soft-opens today, with a grand-opening set to take place on July 4. Listen in as the crew tastes two of the beers that will be on-tap downtown, SD Lager and Hide Site, an IPA named after the new location and brewed in collaboration with Societe Brewing. Cheers to local, independent, organic beer!
Protector Brewery is located at 8680 Miralani Drive, Suite 128, in Miramar, and its Hide Site tasting room is located at 901 Bayfront Court, Suite 102, in downtown San Diego’s Marina District
