Description
Mike Hess Brewing is one of the premier craft breweries of San Diego. We set out with a mission to bring people together over great beer and were early on in the craft beer revolution. We were the region’s 33rd brewery back in 2010 when our first location, then a nano-brewery, in Miramar was opened. Now, in our 10th year, we have 5 locations in California, including the “OG” spot, which has since tripled in size!

Cans from Ales By Mail. It pours pale gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, cracker, light spice, hay and white bread. The taste is crisp, cracker, doughy, light straw, grass and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Simple, but rather drinkable. Decent session stuff.
