Breweries from GABF we need in California, 2017 Edition!
One of our strategies during our coverage of the Great American Beer Festival every year is to avoid our local breweries or craft beer that we can get back home in order to discover beers that are not available in San Diego, CA. For the second year, we’ve put together a list of the breweries from GABF we can’t stop thinking or talking about that have left us counting down the days until we can get our hands on them again, which will probably be at GABF 2018!
Wolf’s Ridge | Columbus, OH
Pack your bags, you may just need to make a trip to Ohio for this one! This was one booth that we made a point to go back to a few times during our time at GABF because we just could not get enough of their beer!
Beers We Need in California:
Clear Sky Cinnamon Toast Brunch. This Cinnamon Coffee Vanilla Cream Ale was one of our favorite beers that we discovered this year! It was sweet, but not too sweet. It literally took us back to our childhood days (or yesterday) of eating that delicious cereal that the name implies. We could literally drink this beer any time of day! This is one beer that we will counting down the days until 2018 when we can get another fix.

Tall Grass Beer | Manhattan, Kansas
This was another booth that we made a point to go back to a few times during our time at GABF because we just could not get enough of their beer! As if their beer was not tasty & fun enough, the fact that they come in cans make it the potentially perfect companion for all our fun in the sun!
Beers We Need in California:
What could be better than beers that remind us of some of our favorite desserts? Their Strawberry Shortcake is a Wheat Ale with a beautiful aromatic strawberry flavor and a cake-like vanilla richness for a delicious experience with one of America’s favorite dessert treats! Their Key Lime Pie is an American sour blonde ale brewed with lime peel, Key Lime Pie is true to its namesake, recalling the sweet, tart and refreshing dessert in beer form.

3 Floyds Brewing Co | Munster, Indiana
We have heard a great deal about 3 Floyds Brewing Co from some family we have that lives in Indiana, so we went looking for them. The problem was, everyone else was apparently looking for them too because by the time we got to their booth they were all tapped out! Finally, at our last session we went straight there to get our hands on their delicious beer, and we are definitely not surprised it kept running out!
Beers We Need in California:
Zombie Dust! This intensely hoppy pale ale lives up to it’s reputation. The only problem is that we can’t get our hands on it in California to stock up for the next zombie apocalypse!

Wibby Brewing | Longmont, CO
We first discovered them in 2016, and we were looking forward to enjoying their beers again this year! Wibby Brewing focuses on lagers, and boy do they do them well!
Beers We Need in California:
Their Moondoor Dunkel is a dark lager brewed with chocolate malt and cacao nibs. Smooth, roasty and extremely drinkable! It won them their first GABF medal this year. They took home Silver, and to make things even sweeter they had a proposal on the stage as they accepted the award. Talk about feeling the lager love!

Madtree Brewing | Cincinnati, OH
They made the list in 2016, and all their beers were just as amazing as we remembered them being in 2017! Maybe if we put them on the list enough, they will actually consider distributing to California! ::fingers crossed::
Beers We Need in California:
Joon. Levanto is aged 2 years in white wine barrels with chamomile, hibiscus, raspberries, brett, & two strains of lacto. Need we say more? Gin-Barrel Aged Joon is a gin & tonic in beer form. It was hands down the best gin-barrel aged beer we have ever had. PSA is easy to drink & well balanced making it a beer you can literally take with you anywhere life takes you.

Great Lakes Brewing Company | Cleveland, OH
Another 2016 mention that made the list for a second year in a row. Lets just say we weren’t the only ones who couldn’t get enough of them! We went back for their Christmas Ale, only to discover that they were completely out due to it’s popularity at the festival!
Beers We Need in California:
Christmas Ale & Edmund Fitzgerald Porter – what could be better than having a beer that reminds you of Christmas in a place where you have no seasons? Fresh honey, cinnamon, and ginger flavors really shine in the Christmas Ale leaving us craving more. One of the best porters we had at GABF this year was the Edmund Fizgerald Porter. Rich roasted barley and bittersweet chocolate-coffee notes makes it the perfect beer for Fall!

RJ Rockers Brewing | Spartanburg, SC
We came looking for this brewery yet again. We have not been able to stop thinking about their beer since we had it at GABF 2015. It made the list in 2016, and now it has made the list in 2017!
Beer We Need in California:
Son of a Peach – for the third year in a row this was one of the best beers we had at GABF and one of the best peach beers we’ve ever had! There is just something about those southern peaches that help elevate the flavors of this beer into one that is truly AMAZING! We keep California dreaming that one day we might be able to have a few cans of this awesome beer while we soak up the sun.
