Outstanding beers on tap, used to be inconsistent in the bottle, but that has improved greatly in the past couple of years. Just a few miles north of Lost Coast...a fine way to spend a weekend. See my notes in A Beer Odyssey for more details. (BTW, I finally found my August 25, 1992 tasting notes — meager though they are — on March 20, 1998.)
Firestone Walker Brewing bought the Humboldt brands, and the beers are brewed in Paso Robles now.
