Longship Brewery, San Diego

Like Viking voyagers of history, it is the passion for exploration that fills the sails of Longship Brewery. They use unique and bold ingredients to fearlessly brew a range of styles; pushing the limits in order to create strong and balanced flavors brewed with a fierce determination for quality and variety. Longship Brewery was founded as a means to explore craft beer and it's their natural curiosity and humble homebrewing beginnings that provide a distinct perspective on San Diego beer. The tasting room invites you in, where fun and games are welcome (as are pets and children) and guests can rejoice in a comfortable and communal beer-drinking atmosphere. Here are some of the beers they've discovered so far:

• Seafarer Sour: A light kettle sour, this beer brings together a touch of sea salt with coriander, bright fruity notes, and clove. 4.5% ABV
• Shieldwall IPA: Crisp hoppy ale with smooth citrus and grapefruit aromas and a lingering spicy hop bitterness. Add a balanced malt foothold, and you have an IPA as solid as a wall of viking shields
• Loki's Wit: Much like any classic Belgian wit beer, this brew combines banana, fruity esters, orange, and coriander with a light malt sweetness. But just when you least expect it, a light hint of chilies enters the flavor for a unique and unexpected spice. 5.25% ABV
