Helms Brewery – San Diego

Small low-key nautical themed brewery with George Thorogood on the house music when we walked in follow up by some Jimmy Hendrix. Set in a commerical condo district, this brewery brews a basic variety of good beers ranging from Siason’s to Chocolate Stouts. We had the Low Tide Blonde and Destiny’s Mild (tap handle labled Beyonce’) which were both very good.

Kilowatt – San Diego

Small garage-style brewery started by 2 former electricians. Weird lighting but good beer with a wide variety of Berliner Weisse. Beer brewed in small batches literial right next to the bar/tasting room. We had the Momentarily Blonde (guess who drank that one) and the Kilowatt Pale. Both very good.

When u walk in you know thry brew here it smells so good.  Not really a theme here just a brewery in an industrial park.  We drank the Farmers gold and Brown ale.  Again very delicious beers.
